We are jumping to conclusions way too fast, me in the first place.

The reference to CC BY-NC-SA is misleading, that's all.
It is clearly qualified by "Except where otherwise noted ..."

The next line says "All content is avaiable under the
terms of the GFDL". Therefore the current license is
the GDFL. The crucial difference is that the GDFL
permits commercial use.

I will propose to change the license to a license similar
in spirit but more appropriate for wiki's, probably
the CC BY-SA - certainly not to a license that
precludes commercial use.
