Some users license their contributions by placing a statement on their user page. However they still have to release them under the GFDL also, see [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing]]. For example I release my edits into the public domain: [[User:The wub#Licensing]]. I'd say that such a positive statement counts as a release, however a misunderstanding of our copyright when submitting an edit probably wouldn't.
Correct. If your contributions are explicitly public domain, and I were redistributing an article you had edited, there would be no legal requirement for me to list your name in the credits. However, being a nice, considerate person, I would anyway.
