You are making 2 invalid assumptions here:
1. that it will take a few years for the wiki material to be converted
into another format, and
2. that the material becomes obsolete after a few years

There is nothing stopping (as an example) Canonical from taking the wiki
material and developing books or training materials that they then claim
copyright for and sell for profit. I'm not saying that they shouldn't
make money off wiki contributions, I'm just saying that in that
situation, I would like to be acknowledged for the contributions I have
made.

I didn't say that no one should be allowed to correct mistakes. Where
did this come from?
