Hmm is that legal? What are the usual terms of use for academic papers?

Usually the copyright is owned by the publisher of the journal the paper
is published in. It used to be so that we were not even allowed to
include text or illustrations from our own work in another context
without explicit permission of the publisher. I think we are still not
allowed to publish pdf versions of our papers on our own website.
One of the reasons why things are a bit changing is that it used to be
so that the publisher did a final correction, made nice illustrations
and did the final layout. Nowadays almost all they do is collect the
word or TeX file and the bitmap and vector illustrations and create the
physical issue. All other work is done by the authors and the editorial
board, which is a group of volunteers from the field. Doing 2% of the
work and getting 100% of the benefit does not seem fair to everyone.
Hence all sort of initiatives to come to a paperless journal. That in
itself is influencing the paper business.

Well, that and the peer review. But the peer review was usually done by
unpaid peers, so it comes to close to the same thing. The journal was really
providing reputation more than anything. Reputation is something that nobody
can monopolise, tho.

As the state the source, it is just legal quoting. It is bad style though.

Don't they need permission to relicense the academic paper text as GFDL?
Maybe not if it's clear it's a literal quote (ie. with quote marks).

Still is. I actually have a paper here that I have to review. It always
takes a lot of time to do well. Even if I spend two full days rereading
and checking the literature, I still get paid the same as the guy who
simply writes: "I don't like it" (That actually seem to have happened at
least once).

In scientific work you can refer to work in other papers, as long as you
give fully all relevant reference, i.e. author(s), year of publication, full
title, full reference of journal/book, number of pages; and ususally
specific page if text is cited literally (which, in general, is not
encouraged).

Well, I know "referring to work" is completely legal given proper citation
of sources. In this case, Thorsten said the Wikipedia article literally
included some paragraphs from the original paper.
