It says:

Waiver material can be re-used free of charge without requiring a
formal licence provided that it is: 

* acknowledged 
* not used in a misleading way 
* reproduced accurately 

Those are additional conditions, which would appear to be 
incompatible
with the GFDL. Acknowledged we can do, via the immutable 
"History"
section (which correlates with our page history link). But we can't
ensure that we won't use it misleadingly or inaccurately.

We also can't use Core License material, because the page on that
license: 
http://www.hmso.gov.uk/copyright/licences/core/c_terms.htm

...doesn't appear to include any provisions for modification. Also,
section 13 states quite clearly:

"You must not pass your rights under this Licence to anyone else".

The same problems occur with value added materials. We're going 
to
have to bite the bullet and ask HMO to license at least some of their
material under the GFDL. This is going to be difficult, and will
require lobbying of MPs and such. And I don't even know who my 
local
MP is...
