There's no content either.

And, the e-mail Huib replied to appeared to focus on permission for
mirrors. As he said, there are many and it is already permitted,
although many do not properly comply with the license terms. Enforcing
the content licenses (as distinct from trademarks or content
copyrighted by the WMF) is not the remit of the WMF, nor is promoting
mirrors.
