My advice would be to convince the copyright holder to re-license the work under something more sane, like the GPL v2. That, at least, doesn't require the license terms to be included in the redistributed work.
We're talking about Wikipedia GFDL text, so that's not going to happen. CC-by-sa compatibility is anticipated in the near future, and GFDL 1.3 in the nearer future, so we could use "or later version" and do a CC-by-sa shuffle. But not right away.
We already have spoken versions of Wikipedia articles on Wikipedia. These would presumably be a copyright violation if not right there on Wikipedia (which of course has the GFDL and complete article history linked on every page) - so can't be used elsewhere. Argh.
Does running a Wikipedia article through Festival violate the copyright if you record it? ARGH.
