Is there any problem with using them?
I think they are from June 2008.

These are the database dumps. In order to get any HTML out of it, you
need to set up either MediaWiki and/or a replacement parser; not to
mention the delicate things enWP folks did with template magic, which
requires setting up ParserFunctions - these might even depend on
whatever version is currently running live.
That's why static dumps (or ?action=render output) are the thing you
need when you want to create offline versions or things like
Mobipocket Wikipedia (which is my actual goal with the static dump).
