Since according to themselves  this project i" in coordination with
the Wikimedia Foundation",giving David Derard as the foundation
contact, does that mean that the WMF approves officially of such
general copyright statements?


"The copyright and disclaimer page says: "The original authors or
creators of content from Wikipedia may be found by going to the
article in the English Wikipedia
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page) with the same article name
and tracing content via the page history."

I'm not entirely sure that is enough to satisfy the GFDL. There ought
to at least be a link to the Wikipedia history page on each article,
any that only really works for the online version. Was a lawyer
consulted on this before going live?"
