One of the most obvious reasons is the requirement that the entire
text of the GFDL be distributed with the image.

Of course, this and most of the reasons are also good reasons you
shouldn't ever use *just* the GFDL for anything.  The GFDL is a
horrible license.  The only reason it's useful at all is the fact that
no one actually follows it.

See "Criticisms of the GFDL" at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GFDL for
some more info.
