I don't think that this is a problem, since our sources are all LGPL.
In any case, as I wrote in a new comment:
* Most of the text is changed in a version of the page that I've been
working on for a while, and will hopefully be done with soon. (This
is not because of the license issue, it's because the text doesn't
fit the wikipedia page context.)
* Getting permission is easy, and I can do whatever they might need to
clarify this, in case they'll insist that it's a problem after my
revision.

Yes, it's not new -- and the effort is not new either, but I think
that the overall shape of Racket-related material is now way better
than it was, so the result is good.
