Thanks for clarifying all this. Much appreciated. If I may, I have a
couple more questions:

* Would you recommend CC-BY-SA or GNU FDL as the choice to go forward
with? Which one

* Would you recommend a dual licensing strategy or just a single license
to switch to?

Somewhat out of scope for this discussion, could a future revision of
the Fedora CLA have a counter promise from Red Hat to keep the
contributions, free and open?
