GPLv2 vs CC-BY-SA-3.0 compatibility
Someone recently copy/pasted from the GDL website front page to this article. The GDL website front page says that the content is part of the GDL project and thus covered by the GPL, without stating which version, or if it's "version X or later". GDL-0.9.1 has a file COPYING which states GPLv2.
If someone wants to use text from the GDL website, then please give some links explaining why you think that the GPLv2 material is re-publishable under CC-BY-SA-3.0. Alternatively, if you are in contact with the developers or wish to post on the GDL development site (@sourceforge), then chances are they would be happy to dual-license (GPLv2 + CC-BY-SA-3.0) the website front page - but they need to state this in an easily verifiable way on the website.
