If something is uploaded by a WMF employee or contractor and was
produced in the course of their work for WMF, you can probably safely
assume it's CC-BY-SA 3.0+, because it's down in our contracts (or at
least mine) that "publicly shared content will be licensed under an
applicable free content license, typically CC-BY-SA 3.0 or later".
Also, some people (like Tim Starling) have a user page with a blanket
statement that anything they publish with no explicit licensing
information is licensed under XYZ.

But it probably doesn't hurt to ask people. As for me, everything I
may have uploaded to mw.org without licensing information is hereby
licensed under CC-BY-SA 3.0+ .
