Where can I find GPL licensed articles which I can use in a commercial project?

Question

I'm designing some web templates, and I need to add some sample content in them, like articles and stuff. I was wondering where can I find such sample articles to include in the template demo? I dont want to use the usual Lorem Ipsum thing :)

The templates would be sold commercially, so I assume the I'll need to use only content that has a license which grants you the right to use it commercially.

I thought of uncyclopedia but it's under creative commons which apparently lets you use their content only if you are using it for non-commercial purposes.

thank you

GPL don't forbidden commercial usage. You "just" have to turn all your project with GPL licence.

With a LGPL component, there is not this problem, but try to look for articles under Creative Common licence without "Non-Commercial" clause...

Like all Stack Exchange articles who are on Attribution-ShareAlike 2.5 Generic! ^^

Its just have "Share-Alike" and "Attribution" clauses so you have to:

• keep this licence for the content you pick
• attribute all the content you pick to Stack Exchange and it's author

Wikipedia also use a version of CC without a "Non-Commercial" clause: Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License

Creative Commons is a set of different licences, they are not all for "Non-Commercial" usage
