This means that you cannot translate articles from en.wikipedia (and some 
others) to ja.wikipedia.

I was planning to eventually propose such a shift for en.wikisource and 
en.wikiquote. Both projects, plus sep11.wikipedia, all currently use "GFDL" 
without a version number (effectively the same as "GFDL 1.1 or later") for 
everything (project pages, talk pages) except sources and quotes. However, some 
of the project pages are adaptations from en.wikipedia.
