I see this has been resolved on the copyright side of things.  The copyvio
notice has been removed, and your permission noted on the talk page.

On the copyleft side of the problem, you may want to list the site at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Mirrors_and_forks/GFDL_Compliance and
its related pages.  This is another area used by contributors interested in
chasing up licencing issues.

If you would like to bring the problem to the attention of a wider group of
contributors, the Wikimedia mailing lists may be the best place:

In particular the main Wikipedia list, or the list relating to the English
version may be of use to you:
