Gee, as  the creator, I think I have some say here. I did it in order
to deprecate and replace GFDL-small, which was on TFD and was deleted.

This was in order to get rid of this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:GFDL-small&oldid=41582744
which ws an attempt at minimizing the most possible the display of the
GFDL notice.

So I got rid of it, but then people complained, so I opted for a
smallr and simpler version of GFDL as a compromise on both issues
(noral tempalte is huge, but -smalll was almost afootnote)

See my talk and TFD archives for the discussion.

Ask first, shoot later.
