Apparently, some people don't like the GNU drawing

template and so, for esthetic reasons, a new template was born:

The reason given, on the edit summary, was:
"some people were annoyed by the cartoon"
Should we have many copyright templates, one to fit everyone's
taste or just one standard, vanilla-flavored template?

Gee, as the creator, I think I have some say here. I did it in order
to deprecate and replace GFDL-small, which was on TFD and was deleted.
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.
