Yes, I'm pretty sure they're incompatible, actually.
Dual licensing should be possible. Just change the submission notice to say that users agree that content can be used under both the terms of the FDL and the CC Share Alike license.
Well, several of us have analyzed this carefully, and I don't agree. Dual licensing doesn't really help much, and actually would tend to invite disastrous complexities.
Question: If none of the existing licensing systems quite fulfils Wikipedia's needs, why doesn't Wikimedia (i.e. us) write a license that does work?
