I realize that. The problem is the creation of derivative works. Since
the GFDL and by-sa are not compatible, you have to hack in some kind
of compatibility. Maybe something like this would work:
"You may use this work under either the GFDL or the by-sa, at your
discretion. In addition, I grant you the right to create
derivative works licensed under both the GFDL and the by-sa."
In other words, you explicitly grant the right to create dual-licensed
works. I'm not sure how you would _revoke_ the right to create works
under _just_ the by-sa or GFDL -- that is, forcing creators of
derivative works to license them under both licenses, too, if that was
desired.
This doesn't solve the problem of including by-sa or GFDL work into a
derivative of a dual-licensed work, though.
Work 1 (by-sa or GFDL) + Work 2 (by-sa) => Work 3 (by-sa only)
Work 1 (by-sa or GFDL) + Work 4 (GFDL) => Work 5 (GFDL only)
(This is assuming that the inclusion of Work 2 or Work 4 wouldn't fall
under "fair use".)
I stand by my statement that dual-licensing is fraught with peril. I
wouldn't do it, and I wouldn't recommend it.
