However, you do not have your way in this case, and just because you 
want the WordPress Codex to be licensed according to your desires 
doesn't make it so. I'm not disputing that GPL is a strange choice for 
the Codex, I'm disputing that CCbySA is in any way compatible. If you 
post anything to the Codex under a CCbySA license, it will be removed, 
as it is incompatible with the overall Codex license.
