If my understanding of the FDL is correct, then the publisher must at 
least provide a pointer back to the original authors and perhaps must 
list all of the authors in the published materials somewhere.

What would the Wikimedia Foundation's reaction be if the material were 
published without giving any credit to the Foundation or the original 
authors?
