Could you elaborate? The help pages have quality issues, but I wasn't 
aware of any licensing issues. While they are GFDL, this should not be 
an issue, as importing the help into a wiki would constitute "mere 
aggregation" with other pages in the wiki, which does not invoke the 
"viral" clause of the GFDL.
