Not sure it should be extended to the documentation in the code, that is typically part of a module that has a license with it (some are bsd there).
Anyhow, what so ever form, it can be added to the disclaimer section in the first page: - http://www.kamailio.org/wiki/start#disclaimer I am fine with any free to use license. I think that if we do it, it has to explicitly say: "Any contribution to the wiki must be done under these terms." There is a remark about 'illegal' content must be reported (and we will remove it if proved legit) -- I guess that applies if someone is copying from other sources with different license and we are notified about that.
