Mike -- Did you see the recent discussion about this at [[Talk:Cheetah]]? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Cheetah#Lead_photo_license
Although Erik Moeller recommended in 2008 (with the move to Creative Commons licenses) that we stop permitting new uploads of files on the basis of a GFDL license, as far as I can tell, that recommendation was never adopted in any policy, so it's still possible to upload GFDL files. (The fact that this file happens to also have a CC B Y-NC-SA license is not the basis of any WM decision -- it just happens the photographer also permits that license.) I've confirmed by private email correspondence that this photographer is clear about the licenses he does and doesn't want to use. Seems like a loophole worth closing.
