To be honest; the licencing is the least of our worries; a lot of the documentation on Meta is, for want of a nicer term, a bit crap; it's out of date, full of thousands of little fixes for individual configurations, or just plain wrong.
If we're going to have documentation on MediaWiki.org, then we might as well have decent documentation.
