> Just out of interest, what is "doing it right" in this context. Is a link to http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f1/Houses_of_Parliament.jpg plus an extended text along the lines of, say, the bottom of http://www.answers.com/topic/bahrain-football-club required?


The answer is "fuck knows", or "there's no way to reuse a GFDL work
from Wikimedia practically without *someone* claiming your usage isn't
compliant." The latter being an assessment from empirical observation.
And a large part of why we're moving to CC by-sa.
