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.

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).
