And any copy and modification will also be under this license. (So if someone starts selling it, anyone can, actually.)

Of course, it is suggested you doubly-license your work here under both the GFDL and the CC-BY-SA licenses (all versions, since Wikitravel is still on version 1.0).
==Why not to add hitchhiking info to Wikipedia==* Because it Hitchhiking info doesn't really fit well into an encyclopedia. ==Why not add hitchhiking to other hitchhiking websites==* There are no other [[websites about hitchhiking]] using free licenses. If there are any: please mention, it might be possible to cooperate.* There are no other wikis about hitchhiking. Wikis are cool.
