Interoperability between [[CC-by-sa]] and [[GFDL]] has been requested by the Wikimedia Foundation board, which in late November 2007 passed a resolution:
:The Foundation requests that the GNU Free Documentation License be modified in the fashion proposed by the FSF to allow migration by mass collaborative projects to the Creative Commons CC-BY-SA license.<ref>[http://creativecommons.org/weblog/entry/7876 Progress on license interoperability with Wikipedia], Mike Linksvayer, Creative Commons blog, December 1st, 2007.</ref>

''When is this actually happening?''

== CC-by ==
It has been claimed that [[CC-by]] is one-way-compatible with GFDL,<ref>[http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikinews-l/2005-September/000329.html [Wikinews-l] The Wikinews Licensure Poll is closed], Sep 2005</ref> meaning that CC-by content can be used in GFDL work, by not vice-versa.

== Non-commercial licenses ==
No NC license can ever be compatible with [[GFDL]].

		+
		+	The only change is the addition of section 11, "Relicensing". This
		+	section permits "massive multi-author collaboration websites" (i.e.
		+	wikis and wiki-like websites) to relicense GFDL content to the
		+	CC-BY-SA, under two key constraints:
		+
		+	* Newly added externally originating GFDL content cannot be relicensed
		+	after November 1, 2008. (In other words, we should stop importing GFDL
		+	content from non-Wikimedia sources, unless they plan to switch as
		+	well...)
		+
		+	* The relicensing clause will expire on August 1, 2009.
		+
		+	Relicensing can only be done by the operator of such a website, not by
		+	any other party...
		+
		+	* As a heads up, communities should be more careful with importing
		+	external FDL content, unless they know for sure that it will
		+	be migrated to CC-BY-SA in the near future.
