Our own original content will be either GFDL, CC-by-sa, or CC-by-nc-sa. We haven't decided yet, though we've discussed it quite a bit. The Editorial Council must weigh in, and we are just now starting that up (we're adopting rules right now). I hope to have a decision no later than, say, the end of June. I am still officially on a leave of absence from the Digital Universe. As to the license, Wikipedia-sourced content is GFDL exclusively.

We might want to ensure our species articles better written and referenced -- which of course they will be. EOL may look at WP for content, too.
