Using GPL license for textual content hardly make any sense... It puts
users to a kind of uncertainty what he/she really can do with it as
the license does not contain explanation what is allowed to do with
content, which is not a piece of software. Open wiki textual content
has to be uniformly licensed as every edit is from legal POV creation
of derivative work of previous version.
