Great, even better. I already expected, that there is some kind of 
exchange (also due to the spatial co-locality ;-) Sorry for overlooking 
your earlier email.

No, probably its better to wait until the license reached a first level 
of maturity.
It could be also interesting for our DBpedia project to license the 
DBpedia datasets under some more data/knowledge specific license (e.g. 
the Open Data Commons License). Do you think ODCL is compatible with 
data extracted from content released under GFDL.
As I understood ODCL is not (yet?) planned to offer different variants 
(as CC does) with regard to attribution, possible uses etc.?

Best,
