I've swapped it for a CC-licensed file that does allow for commercial reuse. Problem solved?
GFDL is a free licence. You can licence under the free GFDL licence and also licence it under an -NC licence. So long as one licence is free on Commons, you can have other combinations.
But the problem isn't solved.
I have numerous aviation photographers and friends who have licenced their works under GFDL -- many of which are irreplaceable, or are the best illustration of the subject. Examples being:
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Abramovich_Chukotka.jpg http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Singapore_Airlines_Airbus_A380_woah%2... http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Singapore_Airlines_Airbus_A380_Wallne... http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Myanmar_Air_Force_Shaanxi_Y-8_MRD.jpg http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:PLAAF_Xian_HY-6_Li_Pang.jpg http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:WinAir_De_Havilland_Canada_DHC-6-300_...
and the list goes on.
If there is an issue with how the PDFs are presenting the licencing information, this is still very much an issue, and if it isn't working as it should at this moment, the PDF feature should be switched off.
Cheers
