As I said separately, the original drive was to match up with Red
Hat's licensing.  Spot said RHT Legal would prefer us to use the
CC-BY-SA, which is welcome news to me.  Let's hear back from Spot on
this question for Legal:

  "Is there any reason Fedora Documentation cannot dual-license or
  relicense all Fedora content including the wiki and
  fedoraproject.org under the CC-BY-SA?"
