Ayaayay! You can't do that. I'm changing it back. If we are to have some
different licensing than that of the FDL, it should say so in
conjunction with the page editing forms. Also, we would have to collect
agreements from everyone affected (or at least try).

I'll add a paragraph about what to do if you want to use a snippet from
the wiki in a GPL:ed work instead.
