Looks like they are finally merging together GFDL and CC BY-SA
(the two licenses used by OWW). Wikipedia uses "GFDL (or any later
version)" which is different from what OWW uses so Wikipedia
content can't be copied to OWW but the reverse is possible. A new
version of the GFDL will apparently be released (and by the "any
later version" clause will apply to all of wikipedia) which will
be compatible with CC BY-SA. This means OWW will be able to freely mix
content with Wikipedia and this whole dual license mess may go away.
