Is there a tarball somewhere of the Help namespace available here:

Our local network gets pretty slow during the day, and I'd like to pre-load our Help: namespace with this tree.
At this time we do not have a redistributable set of help pages with free, non-viral license terms.
Could you elaborate? The help pages have quality issues, but I wasn't aware of any licensing issues. While they are GFDL, this should not be an issue, as importing the help into a wiki would constitute "mere aggregation" with other pages in the wiki, which does not invoke the "viral" clause of the GFDL.
