Does this mean that GFDL-licensed images on
Wikipedia are going to
become CC-BY-SA images?
Probably.
When?
Starting June 15th (or there abouts) {{GFDL}} tags will add a message
saying that this image is also licensed under CC-BY-SA-3.0 provided
that the necessary conditions for eligibility are met. So the
relicensing will take effect alongside the text relicensing, but the
eligibility criteria would have to be reviewed by the reuser by hand
initially.
A bot, not yet in existence, will then go through and evaluate the
images based on automated criteria into: relicensed, not eligible/not
necessary, and needs manual review. Hopefully the bot will sort 95%
of images based on clear cut criteria, leaving "only" 100,000 or so to
examine by hand.
