Explanation

This tag is part of an effort to migrate newly uploaded images to a version of the GFDL tag that does not inhibit reuse by burderning them with copies of the Wikipedia disclaimers (i.e. remove the "Subject to dislaimers" line). Such migration will put the English Wikipedia on an equal footing with the other major Wikipedias and with Commons. However, as one is legally required by the GFDL to preserve all disclaimers, that notice cannot be removed from existing images that bear it. Hence a round about migration process is necessary.

Eventually, {{GFDL}} will be replaced with this tag, after all existing usages of {{GFDL}} have been migrated to {{GFDL-with-disclaimers}} to acknowledge their unique (and rather awkward) status. Dragons flight 03:30, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
