Yes, that certainly seems to be their intention. It's going to really
complicate matters though. GFDL being viral means that any article
containing a single sentence from a GFDL article (give or take fair
use, I guess) must be entirely under GFDL, so if they start moving
articles around and merging them, they're going to end up with a large
portion of the site under GFDL. "Viral" is a really good word for it -
it's going to end up spreading just like a virus until they have an
epidemic on their hands and the whole thing is GFDL.
