I've only just taken an interest in this new version of the licence and signed up to the mailing list. I hope I'm not saying anything stupid that hasn't already been covered!

If the GPL was a compatible licence, that would mean that a derivative work could, for example, be a GPL licensed game based on a film or story released under the BY-SA. I personally would love an aspiring programmer to pick up on my creativity and carry it into the world of gaming, and the GPL would be a good licence for this to be done by. Imagine some programmers making a game based on, as an example, Elephant's Dream (taking advantage of the available 3D animation files used to make the film), which would be released under the GPL and could be bundled with a GPL licensed operating system.

Keep up the good work everyone :)
Mark
