Do you definitely mean GPL'd? Wiktionary is licensed under the GFDL, which is, unfortunately, not compatible with the GPL.

We had the same problem a while back when trying to get permission to use the modified 1913 Webster dictionary which was under the GPL.
See http://mail.wikipedia.org/pipermail/wikipedia-l/2002-August/004271.html, http://mail.wikipedia.org/pipermail/wikipedia-l/2002-August/004327.html.
I'm not sure what the outcome was, but as far as I know, we couldn't use the modified version (though obviously the original version is in the public domain).
