Our articles aren't joint authorship in that sense.
Whether or not they are is a question which can only truly be answered
by a court.
Each editor is an
independent licensee of the previous copyright holding editors who,
under the permissions of the license, creates and publishes a
derivative under the same license.
If that is true then each editor is committing copyright infringement,
because Wikipedia articles don't comply with the GFDL. I find it hard
to believe that this is the case.
