I want to suggest a couple of things to ensure this:
- that we change the "From wikipedia, the free encyclopedia" line. As we
know very well when people see "free" they think gratis, not libre. I suggest we make it "From wikipedia, the open-content encyclopedia" with the word open-content linking to the copyrights page.
- at the bottom of each article we should remind people about their
_obligations_ in copying it. Something along the lines of "if you wish to redistribute this article you must link back to this page and release it under the GFDL. See <here> for details" or something like that.
Well, "the free encyclopedia" has sort of become our "tagline". Plus, it's been translated into most languages (Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre, etc) so I think interlanguage co-ordination would be required to move on that.
I agree with your second point -- we could do to make the licence text at the foot of the page a bit clearer.
