Yes, that discussion only related to the documentation wiki at
https://help.ubuntu.com/community, not the team wiki.

If you can't see a license there, then that means there isn't one and
the material is subject to copyright. When we discussed the issue of
documentation licensing, we considered the question of whether the
team wiki could have a license too: it was decided that it was much
too complicated because of the broad range of different materials that
can be found on the team wiki. As for the Fridge, I think the issue
simply hasn't been discussed.
What I'd suggest is that the UWN (subject to the consent of its
authors) puts CC-BY-SA 3.0 license terms on it (but not the whole
wiki), and the same for the Fridge.
What do people think?
