It believe it should be OK - we only care that a picture has *a* free
license, we're not trying to control all possible licenses for it. But
beware, the non-free CCs have templates that put them in "delete me"
categories, so you might want an alternate template or just boilerplate
text, so triggerhappy admins :-) don't blast the image before noticing
its dual license.
Some kind of free-text option might solve this.
{{GFDL and|the Completely Free Use By Anyone With Red Hair license}}
It would mean our categorisation system wouldn't identify the other
licenses, but one could argue that's a feature not a bug!
It *is* a clever idea to use GFDL to discourage casual
commercial use...
Practically speaking, the GFDL makes single pieces of work free for
any major multi-component reuse (where you'd be reprinting the GFDL
once, covering all the pieces of work in it combined); but in many
ways makes them not-free for reuse of them singly, simply because of
the hassle invovled in complying with the GFDL for one individual
image...
