Although the remark about the GPL applying to the MoinMoin software is correct, and thus the content is not GPL-licensed, this doesn't mean that the content is actually licensed in any explicit way whatsoever. In other words, "removing" the GPL (or actually not applying it to the content in the first place) doesn't give anyone any right to do anything with the content other than to use it on the Python Wiki itself. This is an unfortunate situation that was never resolved because I seem to remember some people regarding the unclear licensing as somehow being beneficial - the only benefit I can think of is that people perhaps don't spam the Internet with advertising-laden clones of the Python Wiki, but maybe these exist anyway - and so any content submitted to the Wiki is taking a one-way trip there. One could track down the authors of any pages to get their permission for further redistribution and use of their contributions, but no attempt has been made to do this in general.
