   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.

I was thinking of the new GFDL (when it is out), not the old one.  See
section 6a.  But you are ofcourse right that GFDL 1.2 does not allow
this.

   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.

I re-read the CC-by-SA license, and I stand corrected.
