Another Wikipedia question on the wrong list :) but this is more 
related to Wikis in general so is presumably on-topic.  If something 
is published under the GFDL, and copied in many places, but then 
someone makes a copy and publishes it *not* under the GFDL (thus 
violating the GFDL terms), who can sue for that violation?  For 
example, if you made a copy of Wikipedia and didn't include the GFDL.

I read
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Copyrights
but was unable to find an answer to this.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Mirrors_and_forks
suggests that DMCA takedown notices should be sent by anyone who is a 
contributor to Wikipedia and hence can claim that *their* copyright 
is being violated by a copy that violates the GFDL.  Does that 
similarly mean that any contributor would also have the right to sue 
if the GFDL-violating copy were not taken down?
