This is a huge drawback for people wanting, for example, to hand out printed copies in large classes. Clearly, cc-by-sa is much better suited to the spirit of a free encyclopedia. I find it disappointing that different free information movements find it so hard to work together. GFDL and CC are so close in spirit that one would have thought any incompatibilities should have been resolved years ago.
