I see no problem in placing a CC license on the site and the wiki, though considering many people have contributed to the wiki I doubt we can just place a CC license on the existing content. I don't see a problem in placing a CC license on the site content given that we can contact the small group of people who wrote it and ask for their permission.</blockquote>
