This is one area where I tend not to assume good faith without
evidence. How do you know this anonymous user is really Geoffrey
Philp? They should email permissions at wikimedia.org from a
geoffreyphilp.com email address or from the email address mentioned on
that website, stating that they release the work under the GFDL
(<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GFDL>). An alternative would be for
them to make a note on the website itself that the content is GFDL.
