Unfortunately I do not understand the interface of Wikiposters, but reading
the translated English FAQ, I got the impression, that for instance if you
order a poster of a GFDL image, they will print you the text of the GFDL  as
well. So I assumed Wikiposters is mindful of attribution requirements.

I guess, we would need someone, who has actually seen a Wikiposters poster,
to tell us how they handle this -- and other licences -- in practice.
