[Foundation-l] Ownership of articles from Wikipedia

I just got a reply from a lawyer about wp-content and other work on a
site, it is the "other" part that sparked the discussion (boring stuff
about somone that does not want to pay for some work), and they claim
that "all rights lies at (company), which is responsible for the site
and the continued operation of this (site)".

My question is, given that the content on this site comes from
Wikipedia, and is licensed gfdl, how can they claim that they have all
rights? Is this a violation of the license? I think it is if they try to
claim that they have ownership of the articles.
