Some of the CitiZens on that thread also advocate blatantly violating
copyright on Wikipedia material and forcing the issue to court - it
appears more than a few of the people at CZ are primarily motivated by
the urge to fuck over Wikipedia at any cost, and never mind their own
quite healthy project. Hopefully they can be reined in by their more
sensible colleagues.
Heh, apparently IQ isn't among the credentials that CZ looks at. :-)
More than a few corporate lawyers have seen $$$ opportunities in
trashing GNU licenses (personal conversations, sorry no cite), but in

If GFDL is overturned, then people are going to need to license my

license because I like them, and CZ $50,000/year because they've
irritated me.
