If you search the list archives for terms like "wiki" and "license"
you will find lengthy discussions of this topic.   The net of it is:
we don't include the wiki in our releases.  We don't package up or
redistribute the wiki.  The legacy OpenOffice.org project did not
these things either.  It was not covered by their CLA and it was not
included in Oracle's grant to Apache.  Apparently the rights were
never centralized.

So the first statement is accurate:  content is copyright by Oracle or
the original authors.    However, it makes sense to include, and even
encourage the Apache License 2.0 on that 2nd page.
