points out that other WP contributors were involved in the apparently

attribution anyways.
If you release your contributions in the public domain, there is no
requirement to attribute it, whether it's also been released under
GFDL or not, so I'm not sure what you mean by "anyways".
Plagiarism isn't affected by the licence or the law. It's an academic
sin,
not a legal one.
Depends on the jurisdiction. In many jurisdictions, plagiarism is
illegal, even if the work is in the public domain. The right to
attribution can exist outside of copyright law.
