The following resources appear either to be licensed under the GNU Free Documentation License, or under a license which allows copying under the GFDL, and are therefore available to be used as resources for Wikipedia articles as long as the source is attributed. This list includes images, text and all other media files.

Note that these are not public domain resources: see Wikipedia:Public domain resources and Wikipedia:Public domain image resources for these.

This Google search attempts to find documents with GFDL license grant boilerplate.
