yes.

Okay, a couple suggestions follow.

I remember seeing the license subject during the install of the wiki,
but for the life of me, i can't not find where to add the commons
license.

IANAL but I suspect that by using Media Wiki you have already agreed
to the GNU license.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/wikipedia/
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/GNU_Free_Documentation_License

When one edits a page there is the following warning:
Please note that all contributions to Macpedia may be edited, altered,
or removed by other contributors.  If you don't want your writing to
be edited mercilessly, then don't submit it here.  You are also
promising us that you wrote this yourself, or copied it from a public
domain or similar free resource.

There is also a link immediately following that allows you to add more
details, for example, the Creative Commons license.

There is a image containing the following instruction:  Set $wgLogo to
the URL path to your own logo image.  I vote you use
http://images.apple.com/macosx/features/voiceover/images/indextop20050412.jpg
for this variable.  That is the Tiger universal access button.

I applaud that the wiki is open, but I recommend that you require
people to register with a verified email addy before editing.  The
Wikipedia has proven robustly resilient to spammers, vandals, and bad
information, but they have hundreds of system administrators and
millions of dedicated contributors.  Just because of the numbers, the
VO wiki will be much more vulnerable to accidents, ignorance, and
malice.

Thanks again for carrying the torch on this.
