Wikipedia --- words, not code --- license is CC-BY-SA. The whole Free
Culture movement is not about code, even though it clearly got
inspiration from it.

Also, very high profile examples of open access journals that have
adopted Free Culture licenses abound, e.g.,

- https://elifesciences.org/about/openness
- https://www.plos.org/license
- https://peerj.com/about/publications/

having a bottom up journal that has "peer production" in its name do
anything short of that would be very weird.

Cheers.
