Why the verbatim copying option?
Since this wiki is for documentation, that option should not be
included.

Is this really necessary? I suggest dropping it. If someone really
really doesn't want to assign copyright -- well, nobody forces them to
edit the wiki.
Exactly! Adding this is a mistake, and it should not be added.
Also, they still can change the conditions;
It should not allow changing the conditions. The whole
point is that people must accept the conditions before publishing
in our wiki.
