Even worse, a dual license means that one cannot copy _anything_ that is not under one's own copyright or in the public domain. Both the GNU/FDL and CC make it impossible to take a dually licensed text and redistribute it dually licensed.
Huh? I do not understand this at all. Please elaborate.
When one makes a copy, one should use either or both licenses to have the right to do so.
The GNU/FDL states:
"You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Document except as expressly provided for under this License."
And the Creative Commons license states:
"You may not offer or impose any terms on the Work that alter or restrict the terms of this License or the recipients' exercise of the rights granted hereunder."
To publish something under dual license, is not "expressly provided for under the GNU/FDL", and it "offers terms on the work that alter the terms of the CC license".
