I wonder if one person could volunteer to email them and sell them on
using the GNU FDL for their images.

"1.) You may use any of the photos in our system free of charge for any
commercial or personal design work if you obey the specified
restrictions concerning each photo you download."
The license terms for individual pictures will vary, so be careful to
check them.
"2.) Selling these photos (individually, or as a whole) without written
permission is prohibited. Using the photos in website templates, on
postcards, mugs etc. doesn't count as selling."
This sounds kind of vague, but the GNU Free Documentation License does
*not* prohibit selling works, and *does* prohibit further restrictions.
Wikipedia articles or derivatives of them may be printed, pressed, or
taped and sold (in addition to being given away for free or cost of
reproduction). Just something to consider.
