I don't like any conditions other than GFDL/GFDL-compatible licensing.
The content is the content on Wikipedia no matter where it came from,
and I don't think they should receive any special treatment.
Additionally, what do we do about reuse? What if we can't turn on
counters due to performance reasons? I don't like shackles added to
the foundation, even if they're made out of paper.
