I noticed the no-derivative licensing, as well, and also find it
unfortunate in this case.  ("This page is licensed under a Creative
Commons Attribution-NoDerivatives 4.0 International License.")
I can somewhat understand, due to it being a source with a certain
amount of officialness, and while it's not quite clear who wrote it, the
writing style strongly gives the impression of RMS, so it may be
inappropriate to modify to a degree.

However, that's not to say that the FSF (the copyright holder) would be
opposed to an exception here, to form as the basis for the wiki.  (I
obviously can't speak for them)

Fabio, when you say you already went through this multiple times, what
do you mean more specifically?

Pen-Yuan Hsing, I'm also not quite familiar with the GNU FDL; I need to
read up a bit on it.  It's important to note that on the LibrePlanet
wiki, additionally the copyright is assigned to the FSF with a promise
on its usage, and rights are granted back to you.  I presume this is for
enforcement purposes, to make it easier to enforce compliance when a
violation is discovered.
