Yep. Uploading a PNG is not actually providing the

When I've uploaded a PNG I've included my email for the SVG itself should

Strictly speaking, that's not a problem whith the GFDL: you are uploading
and distributing a PNG, and the license applies to that image, not to the
SVG. If instead you are redistributing someone else's SVG, then the GFDL
requires you to put the SVG itself for download.
Well, it does mean that if you have a GFDL SVG file, you can't put a PNG of
it on Wikipedia. There do not seem to be many of those yet, but with the
wide distribution of Inkscape, I expect them to start appearing rapidly.
This is easily remedied by allowing SVG upload, which is why I am asking
what would be needed for it to be re-enabled.
