    A GFDL vilation is a violation of the GNU Free Documentation License.

    Many GFDL violations occur when other GFDL corpus access providers fail to provide links to source materials, although the licence requires users to "Preserve the network location, if any, given in the Document" when they republish GFDL text that has been published by other providers, such as Wikipedia, the largest and best known source of GFDL content on the net.

    The Inquirer ran an article on this which asked for email regarding violations.
