[wp-docs] GNU General Public Licence

[John O'Nolan]

If I understand correctly, I think he's saying that he would release  
it to the codex under GPL, and release it on his own site under CCbySA.

Arlen - you should try working with the system rather than against it  
some time, I promise it's much more enjoyable and productive all  
round. You need to pick the battles that are worth fighting.
