The implication was correct, though. You are describing distributing
under "the GPL or the FDL" aka dual-licensing. It is not possible to
satisfy both licences simultaneously, is it?
Dual-licensing is a special case and a lot of fun stuff is possible
if you have enough permission from the copyright holders. It doesn't
affect whether or not two licences are said to be compatible or not.
Thanks for reminding everyone it's a possibility. Try a less
confusing style next time, please.
