There is one problem with wikibooks. Namely:
All text is available under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation
License.
After some surfing on the net I found this:
GPL incompatible in both directions
The GNU FDL is incompatible in both directions with the GPL:
that is GNU FDL material cannot be put into GPL code and GPL
code cannot be put into a GNU FDL manual. Because of this,
code samples are often dual-licensed so that they may appear
in documentation and can be incorporated into a free
software program.
At the June 22nd and 23rd international GPLv3 conference in
Barcelona, Moglen hinted that a future version of the GPL
could be made suitable for documentation: "By expressing
LGPL as just an additional permission on top of GPL we
simplify our licensing landscape drastically. It's like for
physics getting rid of a force, right? We just unified
electro-weak, ok? The grand unified field theory still
escapes us until the document licences too are just
additional permissions on top of GPL. I don't know how we'll
ever get there, that's gravity, it's really hard."

So it seems that GFDL is not suitable for a cookbook where the tips may
end up in GPL or similar licensesed scripts...
Any thoughts?
