      This work is licensed to you under version 2 of the GNU General Public
      License.  Alternatively, you may choose to receive this work under any
      other license that grants the right to use, copy, modify, and/or
      distribute the work, as long as that license imposes the restriction
      that derivative works have to grant the same rights and impose the
      same restriction. For example, you may choose to receive this work
      under the GNU Free Documentation License, the CreativeCommons
      ShareAlike License, the XEmacs manual license, or similar licenses."

    So that allows the GPLv3, as well as many other licenses.

I know; I read that before.  I think that does not alloq GPLv3.
Section 7 of GPLv3 allows some limited variation in the licenses of
derivative works, so it does not fit the criterion.

So I think we have a real problem here.

Who runs the site?
