You can choose to allow that use _as well as_ the GFDL you've already 
agreed to. But, once given, I'm not sure you can withdraw the GFDL 
permission without cause. (IANAL!)

Keep in mind that if you were to withdraw the GFDL license, the images 
would be removed from Wikipedia.

Please take that up with Mr. DiPierro.

Giving permission to Wikipedia only won't satisfy Wikipedia's GFDL 
requirements for 3rd-party redistribution, so we'll have to remove any 
such images.
