Funny... GFDL rules (and Wikipedians' interpretations of them) seemed
to trump everything else, in some people's assessment, where WP:BJODN
was concerned. It's interesting how policies, even ones based on
real-world concerns like copyright law, are not considered important
in themselves, but only as bludgeons to enforce whatever the enforcer
wishes to happen for other reasons; when a particular policy is
harmful rather than helpful to one's agenda, it's quickly discarded.
