I think people seem to be missing the point. Sure, Baidu might be in technical violation of the GFDL, in which case pretty much every fork/mirror in the world is in technical violation of it. I was more focussed on the fact that "entries on Baidupedia, the service from Nasdaq-listed Baidu.com launched last month, are censored by the Chinese Government". This is especially horrible because the real Wikipedia *isn't accessible in China* to the average internet user who doesn't jump through a bunch of technical hoops.
I don't see what's horrible here - the Chinese government didn't invent censorship yesterday.
