Pragmatic solution would be:
* Don't print the source, and print olny a link to the GFDL
* Wait for wikimedia foundation to sue you, which it won't, because 
you're obviuosly acting well within "the spirit"

I know that the copyright for each edit lies with the author of that 
edit, so theoretically an individual author *could* complain, but I 
don't think that's likely, etiher.
