Hoi,
The GFDL is intended for the documentation of software.. The WMF is finding
a route towards a more appropriate license.. Getting an exception to make
our life more easy is not really realistic I would say. The current practice
is that people refer to the Wikipedia article and this is where you find all
the authors.. a really pragmatic approach to something that would otherwise
be unwieldy and hinder the freedom of using this material.
Thanks,

For online re-use, I'd say that is OK. Not in print, however. And Wikipedians
appear to feel the same way. There's a hell of a brouhaha about the ways
Bertelsman handled attribution in their "best of Wikipedia" book.
