Collections uses the WP:GFDL shortcut

Description:
With respect to English Wikibooks:

In the generated PDF files, at the top of the GFDL license, there
is a shortcut link to "WP:GFDL". This shortcut won't work on
en.wikibooks. We either need to localize this to say "WB:GFDL", or we
need to provide a fully-qualified URL to a place where a person can
actually find the GFDL.

A link to FSF's text of the license is probably best though.

I don't believe this is an issue in the PHP code in SVN, can't find any reference to it. Perhaps it's upstream, with the pediapress people?

$wgLicenseURL in http://noc.wikimedia.org/conf/highlight.php?file=CommonSettings.php referes to http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Text_of_the_GNU_Free_Documentation_License where the shortcut is defined.

Maybe it would be better to refer to http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/GNU_Free_Documentation_License instead?

Changing product/component and adding shell keyword for our server admins :)

I don't see any mention of "WP:GFDL" in PDF output from en.wikipedia.org or en.wikibooks.org.
