NC and ND are clearly incompatible with GNU/FDL. CC-BY-SA on the other
hand is incompatible on a technical level only. That is, the rules
specify that one cannot cross-license, but the spirit of both licenses
is equal. Allowing CC-BY-SA is only a small step from requiring
everything to be GNU/FDL. Allowing NC or ND is a much larger step, and
we could not reasonably consider an article as a whole to be GFDL if
there are such images in it.
