I really need an answer on this as soon as possible.  For new Wiki
articles would it be OK to add a footer in the article stating that it
is licensed under a CC license and not the GFDL?  Any official word on
this please from the Arch wiki admins or developers.  If you're not
willing to officially allow CC licenses could the 'override' paragraph
I'm suggesting for new content only be all right?

thanks,

Ananda
