This is copy/paste of a statement I just wrote at the Editing
Discussion<https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Project:Editing_Discussion>of
our SL Wiki:

Just a short heads-up that the Wikimedia foundation is currently having a
vote amongst all registered users with more than 25 edits before mid March
2009, which is aimed to double license all Wikimedia content under GFDL and
CC-BY-SA 3.0.

This means we might soon be able to incorporate content from Wikipedia into
this Wiki (e.g. templates, icons, ...). In case you got an account at any
WikiMedia wiki which is allowed to vote, please consider to do so. Voting
will end on May 3rd 2009. All infos about the update can be found at
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Licensing_update. To vote, just log in with
your account. The link is displayed for any logged in user at the top of any
page (e.g. English Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:SecurePoll/vote/1 ).

On a similar note:

   - Please consider voting at
WEB-910<https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/WEB-910>
   [c] <http://www.sljirastats.com/WEB-910> for free use of
KB<https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/KB>content in the wiki.
   - Please consider to double license your SL wiki contributions (e.g. with
   Template:Re-license_contributions<https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Template:Re-license_contributions>).

P.S.: In case Wikimedia succeedes with this, it might be worth trying to ask
http://secondlife.wikia.com contributors to do the same. It's also GFDL
content and therefor has the same loop hole. Would be especially great
for History
of Second Life <https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/History_of_Second_Life>related
articles. --<https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Image:Zai_signature.png>
