OSS Watch (the open source software advisory service for UK Higher and 
Further Education) has a wiki at wiki.oss-watch.ac.uk.  When you start to 
edit a page or create a new one, it says "By hitting Save Changes you put 
your changes under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 2.0 England 
& Wales Licence. If you don't want that, hit Cancel to cancel your 
changes."  It provides a link for you to find out more information about 
this licence.
