Interoperability between CC-by-sa and GFDL has been requested by the Wikimedia Foundation board, which in late November 2007 passed a resolution:

The Foundation requests that the GNU Free Documentation License be modified in the fashion proposed by the FSF to allow migration by mass collaborative projects to the Creative Commons CC-BY-SA license.[1]

When is this actually happening?

CC-by

It has been claimed that CC-by is one-way-compatible with GFDL,[2] meaning that CC-by content can be used in GFDL work, by not vice-versa.

Non-commercial licenses

No NC license can ever be compatible with GFDL.
