Kind of. If you ask us for advice, we would actually like you to dual
license: use both that CC license AND GFDL. We looked into this last
year, found out this is what wikipedia does, and essentially learned
that there is no one great documentation license, but doing this kind
of dual licensing gives you a pretty good result.

That being said, the arrangement allows to take in single pages that
are only under one of those licenses, if it is not possible to reach
the author or agree on a change.
