Yup but that's not possible under french legislation (for example).

Unfortunately, many people in this thread have forgotten the option
of public domain. If you just ask the copyright holder something
like "do you forgo your copyright?" or perhaps even "can anyone use
it for any purpose whatsoever?" then they are not only much more
likely to give an informed answer, but in the case of a "yes" it's
even more useful. We all know that the problems with the GNU FDL
are even worse for images. How would you use a GFDL image in a
(new) printed document?
The images I have contributed are [crap, but at least] public
domain. :)
