I don't think it is something that needs to be "fixed". It's very
deliberately left out, because the FSF, as detailed on their website
(http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/words-to-avoid.html#Content) does not
believe even using the word "content" fits with their goals, and would
prefer its use died out entirely. If there were a "GNU Free Content
License", *that* would be something that needed to be fixed.
I certainly don't see Wikimedia as producing "content".
