+It may be that, the default license in default setup footer of
+dokuwiki is a CC By-NC-SA.
+
+But that was _not_ on purpose, we just did not checked this. Until now
+(thanks baud for the notification about this on webteam list).
+
+I fixed [1] this on the wiki footer, using now the By-SA CC license.
+
+I expect it is understandable that, using material being under By-SA
+(MDV wiki) requires to keep it under the same license. And that the NC
+provision is, at best, counter-productive in a open source/free
+software context.
+
+[1] provided it was a clear dokuwiki setup and that we did not change
+the footer license, I think we can assume that no specific license was
+used until now. Choosing for By-SA was made with the perspective of
+the above.
+
+Open for debate of course; we should have been more careful about this
+bit on day 1. :-/
