No. Please. Not if we get proper copyleft protection into BY-SA this
round for things like photos and images in video etc. I don't think the
GPL provides this protection and why would we want to negate the
improvements that we may achieve in BY-SA going forward by letting the
works slip out into the GPL where they will lose that protection? Now,
if the next GPL follows the lead of BY-SA going forwards and gives equal
protection, I am ***ALL*** for joining the silos as this is the one
painful weakness/problem with strong copyleft versions of Free licenses.

all the best,
