I guess, although if it is written I'd be interested in exactly what was
promised.
The reasons are fairly obvious - the FSF
wants people to still be using their license and the WMF felt the need
to compromise, so agreed to it.
If the FSF wants people to still be using their license [for Wikipedia], why
would the FSF compromise?
Do you think the FSF is allowing Wikipedia to switch to CC-BY-SA even though
they think the GFDL is a better license, for Wikipedia?
There's gotta be more to it than that.
