Nick,
    See http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ for the licensing
information on the documentation team.  UWN has no CC tag at the bottom
of the page.  Other than that, I have no idea what the "policy" is on
the wiki pages.  BTW, I'm of the opinion, and have been ever since I
became a webmaster for a company, that if it's on the web, it's gone. 
You no longer have control over it.  I did it on my blog.  and there are
various ways to do it.  For example, mine includes "No Commercial" in
it, as well as ability to modify and share alike.  That doesn't mean
that commercial outfits can't quote it.  What it means is that they
can't use it as a way of making money.
