It's not clear to me that the user guides produced by
ODFAuthors are in fact "official documentation" even
though they are made available as ODT and PDF through
the OOo wiki.
We are talking about the same documents here?
http://documentation.openoffice.org/
That page is just a portal; most of its links point to the wiki. The
user guides I am talking about are on the wiki, linked from this page
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation
Here is an example of the user guides download pages
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/OOo3_User_Guides/OOo3.3_User_Guide_Chapters
You will notice at the bottom "Content on this page is licensed under
the Creative Common Attribution 3.0 license (CC-BY)" as on each of the
pages of the wikified content.
Although the wiki pages carry the Oracle logo, the user guides
themselves do not. Like many of the wiki pages, the docs have
different licenses. Some docs (Admin Guide, for example) are Oracle
docs and have a PDL license notice.

Just to clarify, we are talking about two different sets of docs. The
following have the wiki as their primary source:
Admin Guide
Basic Guide
Building Guide
Developers Guide
These presumably belong to Sun/Oracle/Apache. Where and in what form
they will eventually reside is still open, AFAIK.
All of the "module" users guides (Calc, Draw, Impress, Math, Writer –
and Base, eventually) may reside on the wiki in various forms and
versions (or at least the files reside on the wiki server), but they
come from ODFA.
