In that case it's a matter of what is stated on the page about
licensing information. If everything is automatically considered PD,
it's not possible; if it does not give licensing information, it is.
Still, as Angela says, if we can get it under PD (or CC-BY, CC-SA,
CC-BY-SA, GNU/FDL, GPL or another license not significantly stricter
than GNU/FDL), there is no reason to restrict it further.
