(at your option) any later version, that would suffice.
There are no perfect solutions in licensing. It's a sad topic.
Wikipedia is using Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License,
which is incompatible with GPL. GNUFDL is incompatible with both and not
very popular due to issues with it. FreeBSD documentation license is
more permissive (compatible will all of them?) and CC0 is most
permissive, not even attribution required, compatible with all those
licenses.
But if anyone is not happy with GPL, they could contact you and you as
the copyright holder could always dual or multi license the content
under another license.
A community license (under which license contributions go), if you have
a license proxy (one granted a copyright to re-license) or not and such
is a whole different story.

I learned a lot about it and also contacted cc, but I could still be wrong.
No, they both require attribution.
(Corner case: Unless some special "no attribution required clause was
added". I've seen that for CC, not for GPL.)
GPL is always SA (share-alike) or in GPL jargon (copyleft), i.e. it must
always remain under that license. (Corner case: The copyright (creator)
holder releases under a different license.)
Only summary: There are many CC license and they are quite different.
From most permissive (CC0), to attribution only (ex: CC BY) to share
alike (copyleft) (ex: CC BY-SA) up to proprietary (ex: CC BY-NC-ND
(Attribution Non-Commercial No Derivatives)).
I mailed CC BY and asked... Using something under CC BY, you could:
1. take something licensed under CC-BY
2. make a derivative work
3. attribute the original work
4. distribute the derivative work under CC0.
So what's the difference between GPL (x) and CC BY-SA?
- License compatibility.

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/243196/what-is-the-difference-between-creative-commons-and-gpl-licensing
If you ask me, the law is broken. All license incompatibility comes from
outdated laws. For example, I'd like to release my documentation
compatible under GPLv3+ and under CC BY-SA (+?). I could dual license
it, but if someone forks it exclusively under CC BY-SA and I want to
include the improvements, I would have to drop GPLv3+, otherwise I
weren't allowed because they are incompatible. Therefore for now I stick
with GPLv3+ and act as copyright proxy. If anyone needs it under a
different license we work something clever out to remain compatible.

Ok, it's really hard for me to find time now and dig through all those
licenses and decide which one would be best for our wiki. I guess given
the nature of the project (GPL with propriety addons) the choice is
between some variant of CC-* license (by-sa?) vs. GNU FDL, but I somehow
fail to see what would be the main difference? Anybody willing to share
their thoughts/opinions on this (not-so-exciting-yet-important) subject?

Just to throw something else in here. There may be another way to use
tor - by installing a Linux distro like Tails that has an iceweasel
browser preconfigured to run tor. The Tails live ISO can already be
booted up and run in a HVM without installing as well - but getting
the network to work in the HVM needs some configuration.

That would work, but it wouldn't have the Tor separation, where Tor runs
for security reasons in an separate VM.

Joanna Rutkowska:
That's a big question and it's difficult to make a short answer. I think
the main advantage of TorVM over Whonix is, that TorVM is designed for
Qubes OS, which is said to be [1] more secure than Virtual Box. Whonix
is primarily designed for Virtual Box, but I tested that "it works for
me" in VMware as well and there is a recent report, that it's also
running in Qemu. There is also support for physical isolation, a two
machine setup without any virtualization. TorVM uses Fedora, needs less
space, thanks to Qubes OS, while Whonix focuses on Debian. Whonix has
more documentation and more security configurations.
There is a comparison of Whonix, Tails and the Tor Browser Bundle:
http://sourceforge.net/p/whonix/wiki/Comparison%20with%20Others/
Not yet with TorVM. I waited, for Abel to update it, but he seams
inactive right now so I will do faster.
[1] "said to be": I don't claim the skill to verify myself that Qubes OS
is safer than Virtual Box. Reasons sound convincing, but I am not one to
repeat what I have read in news articles. Qubes got quite good reviews...

Redistributing CC BY licensed work under BSD 2-Clause License?

under the BSD 2-Clause License. (This won't work with CC BY-SA.)

Maybe ask the other way around... What license features do you want?
Features are:
- do whatever you like, no attribution or whatsoever required (public
domain, CC0, WTFPL)
- attribution only
- non-commercial only
- non-commercial only - ask if you want to have a commercial license
- only if you bought a license
- must open source code if you redistribute work based on the original work
- must always stay under this license
- may not be combined with other licenses
- disclaimer
- may be combined with other licenses as long as no further restrictions
are added
- may be combined with other licenses
- you may redistribute are derivative without releasing source code changes
- no derivative work allowed
- Invariant sections (GNU FDL)
- no patent treachery
- no DRM
- you may/may not link (compiler) to it

I recommend against GPL. Reading the wiki article [1] is enough as
introduction for reasons. It was/is considered unfree and difficult to
combine with anything else. I think it should only be considered for
book length documentation.
A good alternative to the GPL and CC may be BSD. Either BSD 2-Clause
License or FreeBSD Documentation License. They are simpler, can be read
faster and yet include a disclaimer and attribution requirement.
Compatible with most (if not all?) other licenses. Approved by FSF, OSI,
Debian, Fedora.

For website content, I think CC-BY-4.0 is very suitable:
https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/
* it is an international license
* attribution is nice because then if folks re-use the content, users
can follow up by visiting the Qubes website
Some other sites that also use CC-BY include:
* Tor Project website content
<https://www.torproject.org/docs/trademark-faq.html.en>
* EFF website content <https://www.eff.org/copyright>
As mentioned earlier in this thread, this does not impact/cover the

For website content, I think CC-BY-4.0 is very suitable:
https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/
* it is an international license
* attribution is nice because then if folks re-use the content, users
can follow up by visiting the Qubes website
Some other sites that also use CC-BY include:
* Tor Project website content
<https://www.torproject.org/docs/trademark-faq.html.en>
* EFF website content <https://www.eff.org/copyright>
As mentioned earlier in this thread, this does not impact/cover the
Qubes code itself, just the website content.
Michael
