Thanks. Doesn't look like we can use such an approach.
I guess we'll have to just leave it as it is and just start
using the above to eventually end up with a CC-BY-SA licensed
wiki.
In theory we'd be able to use a robot to run over all pages
and identify the parts that are not yet under CC-BY-SA. Perhaps
we could make that an SoC or school project in, say, 3 years
from now.
