The GFDL seems to prohibit that. Both verbatim and modified copies are
supposed to include a full copy of the actual license text, not just a
reference to it. See Sec. 2 para. 1 and Sec. 4 part H of the GFDL.

The Creative Commons license doesn't have a similar requirement; it
doesn't say that you need to include a copy of the actual license text
in order to distribute.

Cheers,
