I would rather have any publicly editable pages include prominent notice near the "Save Page" button that by hitting the "Save Page" button, you're indicating that all changes made are done under the OPL license, and if you do not agree with these terms, you should not make changes.
I'd also like to minimize the amount of namespaces which are designed to be publicly editable without signing the CLA.
I agree with this too. Maybe we can get Ian "WikiNinja" Weller or Nigel "G-Man" Jones to get a proper and prominent notice attached to the wiki, above or next to the Save controls.
Since it's been made immutable, I can't access the notice we used on the Moin wiki, but I'm almost certain we had one there. Shall we just use that text, if someone can retrieve it?
Well wouldn't ya know it, a WikiMedia website -- the MediaWiki help pages -- are a precedent for this sort of thing. Their entire Help: namespace is public domain so that other wikis can import it without problem.

Now, how does this work?
