I need to do some research, But my idea is: You can't restrict the modifications for GPL'ed code. But with FDL you can say that this part shouldn't be modified. I guess this is why they are not comatible. I still think that FDL is the best thing. Maybe CC-non commercial-attribution. I still need to have a more detailed look. I'll try to do it tomorrow.
