That's just it. It's not practical to distribute a booklet along with
images in many cases. No magazine would ever use a GFDL image if they
had to distribute a booklet with it, or even print a copy of the
license with it. The requirements of the license make re-use a
hinderance unless the entire work is already being licensed under
GFDL. Which is not a strategy which encourages re-use by any except
those who are already totally sold on the free-content idea.
Well, I doubt any magazine (except maybe those published by the FSF, etc.)
would use a GFDL image even if they didn't have to reprint the full licence,
since IIRC they'd have to publish the whole issue under the GFDL or
something like that. It's probably the same with the Creative Commons
sharealike licences.
