Hoi, The GFDL is intended for the documentation of software.. The WMF is finding a route towards a more appropriate license.. Getting an exception to make our life more easy is not really realistic I would say. The current practice is that people refer to the Wikipedia article and this is where you find all the authors.. a really pragmatic approach to something that would otherwise be unwieldy and hinder the freedom of using this material. Thanks, GerardM
For online re-use, I'd say that is OK. Not in print, however. And Wikipedians appear to feel the same way. There's a hell of a brouhaha about the ways Bertelsman handled attribution in their "best of Wikipedia" book.
