This is just the default message in MediaWiki. You can see the same
thing in the original version of the Dutch Wikipedia -

The wiki is GFDL. The edit page links to
http://kennisnet.wikia.com/wikikids/wiki/Wikikids:Auteursrechten which
says that the text on Wikikids is released under the same licence as
on Wikipedia, namely the GFDL.
