I think that practically speaking, most or all of us who've 
contributed to the documentation would have no problem with that, but 
legally speaking, no, you couldn't do that right now.  There's no 
license grant mentioned in the TWiki default copyright statement that 
you copied and pasted above, and the default under copyright law is 
"all rights reserved", meaning no copying allowed.  

So, that language needs to be changed before we go much further, while 
we can still count all the major contributors on 2 hands.
