I hate to sound like a complete <censored>, but...
The current content of the wiki page for ex2/3/4 file systems has a large chunck of derived work from a document licensed to us via the GNU documentation license, which like it's code infecting cousin, means that page is also licensed under the very same. While this wasn't too big of a deal when the page was published, I've looked it over and the GNU Documentation license is not compatible with the CC0 we are currently using.
Flag it? Keep it? Add an exception?
Just thought Id bring it up since It could be an issue.
(Seriously, who the hell GPL's a document?)

If that's the case, it should be rewritten (and the copier should be stabbed because it can't have legally been posted at all)

Edit: I can't find any copy-paste work between the documents, so it is already a new interpretation...

Oh, in that case I guess we're ok. I saw

Most of the information here is based off of work done by Dave Poirier on the ext2-doc project (see the links section) which is graciously released under the GNU Free Documentation License

and assumed the words "based off" was synonymous with "copied from" in this context. I'm glad I'm wrong
