Practical but not-in-the-spirit-of-it answer: Tell him not to license it as GFDL but to just say that Wikipedia can use it. Then we use it as fair use and claim to disregard the Wikipedia-only license, knowing full well that he won't actually sue us for infringement since he already said we can use it.

Nice attempt to overrule Jimbos edict against 'with permissions' images.
Either we (and other folks like us) can use it as fair use and we don't need his permission or it's not and we should not accept the image in our article permission or not.
Please don't encourage a regression to a point where we permit images that others couldn't claim fair use for simply because people will give us permission to display them on their website.
