Shouldn't the printable version also have a URL to the GFDL rather than a wikilink? Also shouldn't there be a page history link as well (once again to the URL)? Whouldn't this be more in compliance with the terms of the GFDL which require that the GFDL go with the copyrighted material and at least the five most significant authors being acknowledged?
IMO, printable pages should have three things:
1) A clickable backlink to the article that also displays the full URL 2) A clickable backlink to our local GNU FDL copy (full URL, blah, blah) 3) Maybe even a "Revision history" link.
That way, downstream users who simply copy the source text of a printable page and then use the page somewhere else on the Internet, will be in full compliance with the GNU FDL (them having a local copy of the GNU FDL is not a strict compliance term).
