After some digging, I discovered that CC-by material can be used under GFDL
- which is very good news.

It seems strange that this info is buried rather than prominently on the CC
site, but the source is James Grimmelmann, a law academic, and it seems like
he should know. I added the source link to the CC wiki, at
http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Interoperability_between_Creative_Commons_licenses_and_GFDL#CC-by

It does seem that there should be some more official statement on the CC
site, from CC and/or FSF - the source I have is a one word answer on a
mailing list (even if it is from someone who should know).

society to overheat. -- Clay Shirky
