There are side attacks.

The most dirrect would be to figure out a way to change this list

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_Software_Foundation#Voting_Members

until it contiained only people who are prepared to turn the GFDL into
a free license.

Other options are PR based. Ban pure GFDL media uploads and create a
press release explaining why.

Moveing away from dirrect confrontation as the host of the largest
repositry of GFDL content the foundation should be listened to.
