In seems that "[f]or other kinds of works, (the FSF) recommend(s) you
consider the licenses proposed by Creative Commons." While, I've not
personally reviewed there licenses, I have seen than many pro-FSF
individuals have used one of them for their blog, website, wiki, etc.
Of course that doesn't address the legal requirements for actually being
able to change the Wiki license. I leave that as an exercise for the
reader. :-)
Actually I suppose that one option would be to move the current wiki to a
archival location making it read-only and to then start over. Individual
authors could re-contribute their information under the selected license on
the current (new) wiki. Of course it would be improper for a contributor to
copy content from the archival site, which they had not personally authored,
but I think it would be permissible to link to the old wiki.
