It might, if this were a project that fights against intellectual
property rights. It isn't. It's a project that fights *for*
intellectual property rights *for everyone*.
... as long as it is understood that "everyone" is defined as "everyone
who is able and willing to use a license compatible with GFDL". Those
who for various reasons use one of the couple dozen incompatible open
content licenses are granted by us only a single right: the right to
read. That's exactly what they get from
encyclopedia.com as well.
