Ok we discussed this on the wiki and put the Open Content license in the 
copyright page.  Hopefully no one will object. 

I'm pasting the news item in here for convenience.

Recently, it was discovered that BlenderWiki:Copyrights 
<http://mediawiki.blender.org/index.php/BlenderWiki:Copyrights>, the 
page used to specify the overall license of wiki content (and linked to 
in the edit page), was blank. Because of this, the only possible 
"licensing" requirements on the wiki would be the edit page disclaimer. 
As we all know, that disclaimer says that you agree to let your work be 
edited mercilessly. It does not allow, say, printing of the content, or 
cross-posting to another wiki. And it's questionable if that could even 
said to be binding
