It is worth noting that this clause is incompatible with the GPL
(strong restriction on fee charged); only via conversion under clause
6 would you be able to merge GPLed text. That places it in the same
class as the GFDL from your perspective: you can't include GPLed text
without forcing the entire thing to be GPL-only.

While the license as written explicitly permits text to be *exported*
to the other licenses, if you want to import text then they need to be
compatible in their own right.
