Okey lets consider photobucket as an MMC. It allows
anyone to register
(and then nags you if you don't use the thing but eh). It allows you
to take any image download it, edit it and (because they largely
ignore copyright issues) re-upload it. And the ability to do all of
this is at least as prominent as wikipedia. You therefor accept
photobucket as an MMC.
And if they mandated GFDL licensing for all their collection of
images, this might be relevant.
But let's go back to the original point. Even in the event we decide
the collective set of Wikimedia wikis is not an MMC in the context of
uploaded material, where does it leave us?
a) They're still undeniably a MMC for text
b) So we can relicense, etc, our text
c) We just end up with some GFDL-only images
d) ...which we'd have had anyway, because of ones licensed under a
specific vesion.
It just makes dealing with the GFDL images marginally more of a headache.
