I am not really sure whether I understood the situation fully enough, 
therefore I'll express what I have perceived, please correct me if I got 
it wrong  :

--> All text in the gNS web-site would be licensed under the GFDL ( with 
no in-variant sections).

--> The Artwork (wallpapers, audio, video, logos) will be available 
under GFDL and CC BY-SA (i.e it is going to be dual-licensed). As a 
consequence the contributors of the Artwork, that is already present in 
the gNS web-site, have to intimated about the Artwork being 
"dual-licensed" and thus ask for their approval to make it available 
under both GFDL & CC BY-SA.


Thank you.
