Why not use the GPL, then?
FWIW, the GFDL is considered non-free by Debian[1], so that would mean any documentation or anything derived from the wiki couldn't be packaged for Debian.
Apart from the issue of code itself on the wiki, that other people have already mentioned, presumably you'd also have licence fun if you try to take surrounding explanatory text to use as haddock docs etc.
Let's discuss it on the wiki: <http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/HaskellWiki:Community_Portal>
I don't know if there was a reason you chose my message in particular to reply to, but I have no intention of discussing this, or anything else, on a wiki. Incidentally, if anyone's collecting votes/opinions, I'd vote "yes" for any of GPL, BSD, PD, and "no" for any other licence I can think of. (I am unlikely to directly contribute anything to the wiki ATM, though). Thanks Ian
