Various reasons to escape [[GFDL]] hell:

*[[Lawrence Lessig]] is a rational legal scholar who studies licenses and the way they affect content sharing. He is a far more valuable person to have on board than [[Jim Wales]] or [[Richard Stallman]] who are both one-hit wonders.
*[[GFDL]] is worthless now since it has been [[Wikipedia violates GFDL|twisted so badly no one knows what it means or who has given permission for what]]. At least we must move to [[CC-by-sa]] or better [[CC-by-nc-sa]] (allows use of some commercially reserved works like [[GetWiki]]) for code
*we could avoid discussing [[Wikipedia]], [[Wikimedia]], and their lies, liars, [[libel pit]]s, mindless [[sysop power structure]] composed ONLY of idiots, other crimes and [[wiki witchhunt]]s and get back to doing some serious design work on a project that will perhaps not collapse the second a lawyer sniffs it (as theirs will)
*CC's idea of [[share-alike]] is much better defined than [[GFDL]]'s mess which has loopholes - by being simpler, CC demands everyone behave reasonably rather than trying to specify a whole lot of messy requirements re: specific parts of documentation which are easy to "play" and generate counter-productive variants
