Sounds like a stupid idea? Thought so. A wiki should be public domain, plain and simple. (Put contributions with a different license somewhere else and link to them. No big deal.)
There seems to be a consensus for public domain both here and on the wiki page. <http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/HaskellWiki:Community_Portal>
Does anyone have any objections to putting everything in the public domain?
Insisting that everything is in the public domain prevents the inclusion of third-party content, unless either: a) that content is also in the public domain (which is unusual; even content which is "freely" redistributable usually has some kind of restriction, even if it's only an acknowledgement requirement), or b) you can obtain a specific exemption from its author (assuming that you can actually identify and locate the author, which isn't always easy for projects with a long history and many contributors). -- Glynn Clements <glynn@gclements.plus.com>
