If you changed the licence to be DFSG compliant, I would be happy to

GFDL is considered DFSG compliant as long as the document doesn't have
unmodifiable parts:
http://www.debian.org/News/2006/20060316
This is, in fact, the version of the GFDL used by the NewbieDOC project
since 2001.
It is easy enough specifically to dual-licence an article (GFDL + GPL).
Doing this has made it possible for some of the NewbieDOC content to be
included in the Debian Reference (which requires GPL). It would be very
difficult to re-licence all the work in either NewbieDOC or Debian
Reference - tracing all the contributors (past and present) and
obtaining permission would be very difficult.
