Actually, I sort of misspoke. It'd be *better* if the Wikimedia
Foundation came up with a set of simple, concrete steps which would
allow for GFDL compliance.
But this is unlikely to happen for two reasons - the GFDL is not easy
to comply with, and Wikipedia is set up in a way which makes GFDL
compliance even more difficult.
So, in the case of Baidu, settling for a GFDL notice is probably the
most that can be hoped for. A link back to the original article would
be nice, though it might be hard to convince them to do, and it isn't
required by the GFDL anyway.
