A good question!

The repo containing blog posts is, as youʼve already found, is 
guix/guix-artwork [1].  Its README says:

| * Copying

| ** Guile code

| See [[file:COPYING][COPYING]].

| ** Graphics

That is, textual works are not licensed.  Specific files under website/posts/ 
does not feature any licence either.

In other words, nothing suggests that they are covered by GNU FDL, nor that 
they are free at all.

There is nothing good in absence of explicit licence, since in that way they 
are not even legally redistributable, but _freeing_ them actually would _not_ 
be in line with the usual https://www.gnu.org policy, where CC BY-ND is used, 
and all translations are supposed to be done via official translation teams [2].
