I don't recall the GFDL saying the licensor can unilaterally revoke the license...
Reread section 9.
Ok, I've reread it, it says this:
"You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Document except as expressly provided for under this License. Any other attempt to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Document is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance."
Even if WMF had violated the license, the license would be terminated automatically, not by you.
Now read the version in GFDL 1.3.
