Hm, it seem like Steschke is using the "temporary insanity" defense that Cary 
outlined in his last post ;-). His first license change had a comment in the 
edit summary that roughly says that he was not aware of some specific 
properties of the GFDL (the "or later versions" thing).

On one hand it shouldn't be our mission to make people miserable. On the other 
hand, we owe the users and re-users of the images at commons fighting for a 
dependable licensing. It would degrade the reliability of commons if we make 
room for precedents like this IMO.

Tough one.
