License change/Decision
License of Anarchopedia for interfering with statist and capitalist entities is GFDL (otherwise, we don't care about it). The main reason for choosing that license is compatibility with Wikipedia. Wikipedia is now changing license to a kind of double licensing between GFDL and CC-BY-SA. Basically, the change is not relevant from our point, but if we don't change the license as Wikipedia changes it, the content from Anarchopedia won't be able to be included in Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects. Because of that, we need to make a decision.
Discussion and voting starts at March 19th and ends at April 20th, 23:59. Option with the most of the votes will pass. One person may vote once per option.

Poll
Decision on this poll is valid only if Wikimedia changes their licensing.
I don't care
(These votes won't be counted.)
Stay at GFDL
(We would be able to import the most of Wikipedia articles, but we won't be able to give our articles to Wikipedia.)
Switch to Wikipedia licensing
(We would be able to interfere with Wikipedia, but we won't be able to import GFDL-only articles.)
Switch to Wikipedia licensing with a possibility of importing GFDL texts
(As previous, but we would be able to import GFDL-only articles. However, this option makes our life very complex.)
Switch to the straight dual licensing
(We would be able to import the most of Wikipedia articles, Wikipedia would be able to take our articles, but we won't be able to import GFDL-only and CC-BY-SA-only texts.)
Switch to the straight dual licensing with a possibility to import GFDL and CC-BY-SA texts
(Combination of the two previous options. We would be able to do everything, but it makes our life very complex.)
Switch to CC-BY-SA
(Similar to switching to Wikipedia licensing: We would be able to interfere with Wikipedia, but we won't be able to import GFDL articles.)
