Arnulf,

It seems the following message already appears in the wiki edit page:

Please note that all contributions to OSGEO are considered to be released 
under the GNU Free Documentation License 1.2 (see Project:Copyrights for 
details). If you don't want your writing to be edited mercilessly and 
redistributed at will, then don't submit it here.
You are also promising us that you wrote this yourself, or copied it from a 
public domain or similar free resource. DO NOT SUBMIT COPYRIGHTED WORK WITHOUT 
PERMISSION!

Is that not sufficient?

It is a bit odd that we consider wiki contents to default to GNU FDL but the
web pages to Creative Commons.  That might be worth fixing up.

Best regards,
--
