Apparently, some people don't like the GNU drawing in the GFDL 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=4158... 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.
