Call it what you will. For me it is a matter of choice and freedom.

We already can't do that. We can't move documentation from the manual
into the code, and vice versa, because of the GPL vs. GFDL issue. It
is that kind of thing that completely takes away any motivation I might
otherwise have to contribute to the manual.
And again, if you're going to require reviewing and copyright assignment
for wiki contributions, we might as well not have a wiki at all.
