GFDL is a free licence. You can licence under the free GFDL licence and
also licence it under an -NC licence. So long as one licence is free on
Commons, you can have other combinations.
But the problem isn't solved.
I have numerous aviation photographers and friends who have licenced their
works under GFDL -- many of which are irreplaceable, or are the best
illustration of the subject. Examples being:

and the list goes on.
If there is an issue with how the PDFs are presenting the licencing
information, this is still very much an issue, and if it isn't working as
it should at this moment, the PDF feature should be switched off.
