This was in order to get rid of this: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:GFDL-small&oldid=415… which ws an attempt at minimizing the most possible the display of the GFDL notice. So I got rid of it, but then people complained, so I opted for a smallr and simpler version of GFDL as a compromise on both issues (noral tempalte is huge, but -smalll was almost afootnote) See my talk and TFD archives for the discussion. Ask first, shoot later.

It's rather annoying that often images etc. are often not tagged with the author, and their copyright marked as well as their licencing their work under the GFDL. File history is not reliable - all the more so with stuff happening like people uploading the image to Commons, keeping nothing but the GFDL notice, and deleting the original file history at en (or wherever). Wikipedia's attitude towards copyright seems lax at best. GFDL is not the same as public domain, and even for pd - politeness and courtesy dictate proper attribution.
