  Why not, in the next GFDL version, just remove the
 clause that says you have to include the entire license, and just  
 say it's
 sufficient to state that the material is GFDL and credit the  
 author(s) in
 the appropriate manner? Wouldn't that - for the everyday person -  
 accomplish
 exactly the same as switching to CC-by-SA? 
I think FSF's modifying the GFDL so that it is a functional equivalent  
of CC-BY-SA is a possible path for FSF if they want to respond to the  
Foundation's request.
