Did I just violate the GFDL?

I just copied the contents of [[template:inuse]] from en:wikipedia to
meta, to a page of the same name. Do I also need to copy the edit
history? Or do I need to link back to the en page? Or just mention
that it came from the en wikipedia?

Should I sleep with my boots on in case the GFDL police come beating on my door?

A link in the edit summary
GFDL, copied from http://__.wikipedia.org/wiki/____
should be sufficient in cases where display of the notice in the body is
clearly impractical.

Better would be to give the usernames of the main authors as well.
