Dear Lodewijk,
I think we did send them letter to ask them to remove articles in 2006, in the name of Chinese Wikipedian community. But we got no response. I know it's not easy to deal with this issue, since WMF is not the copyright holder. We do the collection in case one day we will use, no matter we use it for legal purpose or others.
:)
Regards, Titan

Just a weird question maybe, but has it been tried to just write them a letter and ask to remove the content? Please note that WMF is nto the author of the content, and does not own the content. individual authors such as yourself could of course. Therefore i doubt she could enforce the GFDL requirements. Or are you suggestion rather press/pr action?
Best regards,
Lodewijk

Hi,
We Chinese Wikipedians are now collecting Baidupedia articles which were copied from Chinese Wikipedia.
http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:%E7%99%BE%E5%BA%A6%E7%99%BE%E7%A7%91%...
You may click the link above to see how many they are. (We put "Featured articles", "Good articles", "DYK and other general articles" in groups.) Baidupedia users not only copied from zh.wp, but also from ja.wp and
en.wp.
I think we could now do the evidence collection works first, and I hope
the
list could be useful if one day the WMF takes some action to Baidu.
