Manual:Copyright

The copyright on a Mediawiki wiki is set at installation and can be adjusted by changing the sitewide copyright notice located at Mediawiki:Copyright and adding this line to the LocalSettings.php file: The copyright notice can be completely eliminated from the footer by changing the skins -> MonoBook.php file.

Options
Presently, the options available at installation are:
 * No license metadata
 * Creative Commons
 * GFDL

MediaWiki 1.14 will presumably allow a public domain licensure option.
