In any case, the letter probably shouldn't state "you're OK if you do *this*" but rather "you're not OK if you don't do *this*".
Actually, I sort of misspoke. It'd be *better* if the Wikimedia Foundation came up with a set of simple, concrete steps which would allow for GFDL compliance.
But this is unlikely to happen for two reasons - the GFDL is not easy to comply with, and Wikipedia is set up in a way which makes GFDL compliance even more difficult.
So, in the case of Baidu, settling for a GFDL notice is probably the most that can be hoped for. A link back to the original article would be nice, though it might be hard to convince them to do, and it isn't required by the GFDL anyway.
