It uses a cgi script or something like it to redirect users to the real 
Wikipedia article - users still get there. But they do say that the "Original 
article" is available under terms of the GNU FDL. 

For them to use our content *their* version also has to be under the GNU FDL. 
This, IMO, is a violation of the letter of the GNU FDL and therefore 
technically voids their rights to use our articles. But I'm sure they would 
change this if pressed. It is, IMO, a minor point considering the many other 
websites who have outright stolen our articles with no credit or links.
