Perhaps someone, such as yourself, wants to copy the content of the
wikki for commercial purpose. I would see that in bad taste, but it
would be essentially impossible for pursuing a copyright violation. I
say this as someone who has put many hours of preparation into pages
stored there.
My understanding is that in the U.S. the author of a posting on the
Internet has automatic copyright, and therefore permission is not
assumed to be granted for reproduction in another form unless the author
says so.
If for example, Kevin (or someone else) saw someone claim credit for one
of his postings in a commercial publication and considered it in bad
taste he could demand remedies. As the automatic copyright holder Kevin
has the right and means to do so.
Of course, proper citations, quotations, summaries and paraphrases are
expected.

Hate to bring a legal matter to light, but what is the legal standing of
the user-contributed wiki entries? That is, does the contributor have
perpetual full rights or does the user-contributed content belong to the
organization? Is the content/database jointly owned in full or owned by
only one company/organization?
