Before we get started, are we happy with the [http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html GNU FDL] as [http://www.wikipedia.org Wikipedia] uses? There are a lot of [http://home.twcny.rr.com/nerode/neroden/fdl.html reasons not to use it]; perhaps we shoud pick a more liberal [http://www.creativecommons.org Creative Commons] license instead? Even the GNU folks state:

"We believe that published software and documentation should be free software and free documentation.

Windows Media Audio ([[WMA]]) is a proprietary compressed audio file format used by Microsoft. It was initially a competitor to the [[MP3]] format, but with the introduction of Apple's [[iTunes]] Music Store, it has positioned itself as a competitor to the [[advanced audio coding]] format used by Apple. It is part of the Windows Media framework. An initial reason for the development of [[WMA]] might have been that [[MP3]] technology is patented and has to be licensed from Thomson for inclusion in the Microsoft Windows operating system.However Windows Media Player 10 for Windows XP now also includes MP3 encoding as an option for CD ripping.
