Yup, I've been asked for permission (apparently people don't quite believe the GFDL)
firstly there is the issue that i don't think you can included a gfdl image in a non gfdl book (or at least if you can its not too clear)
Sure you can, just need to include license in fine print somewhere, or call it a fair use. A couple of the interchanges have been curious, in that "the GFDL allows free usage" is not enough, they want to hear "I give permission" specifically. But I'm sure if one has a hundred photographers to contact, that it's just more efficient to get the magic words than to pore over the wording of freaky copyleft licenses. :-)
