To quote from the mail you originally forwarded:

"This means that a contributor posting material on the wiki will NOT
retain any copyright over the material (although of course they will
still be credited in RecentChanges and the page history so that they can
take pride in their work), and others can copy or modify it without
restriction."

They're being acknowledged?  Where's the violation of human rights?
