License change for the GPH.

    Feel free to have a different opinion on that.

It's not a matter of opinion.  Based on my knowledge of licenses,
this is my conclusion.  I've invited you to show evidence that
I'm mistaken, but if you don't show me evidence, I will stand
by my conclusion.

Please tell me the names of the GPL-covered HOWTOs that you want
to use code from, and the FSF will find someone to work on getting them
relicensed, so you won't have to do this work.

We can find a solution for using text from the GPH in magazines, but
Wikipedia is out of luck.  It was their choice to stop using the GFDL.
They can't use the GPL-covered HOWTOs either.  While asking people
to relicense them, I could ask them to switch to GFDL|CC-SA;
then it would work for Wikipedia too.
