Conclusion
It is not possible to borrow text from a GFDL'd manual and incorporate
it in any free software program whatsoever. This is not a mere
license incompatibility. It's not just that the GFDL is incompatible
with this or that free software license: it's that it is fundamentally
incompatible with any free software license whatsoever. So if you
write a new program, and you have no commitments at all about what
license you want to use, saving only that it be a free license, you
cannot include GFDL'd text.
The GNU FDL, as it stands today, does not meet the Debian Free
Software Guidelines. There are significant problems with the license,
as detailed above; and, as such, we cannot accept works licensed unde
the GNU FDL into our distribution.

Thus defaulting the FDL for all wiki content, including code, is a very bad
idea.
I agree - can we please use BSD or public domain?
Cheers,
Simon
