With regards to the Wiki license, a perfect example is the blog post on BurningLife.com. Although the entire blog is not available under a CC license, since the content of the post is taken from the SL Wiki, the terms of the license have been followed. Similar BY-SA adherence has occurred when people have republished Image:Agni.jpg.

The US-specific legalese likely isn't a problem for all intents and purposes (the SL Wiki isn't US-specific), but the lack of "Share-Alike", the inclusion of "Non-Commercial" and "No Derivative Works" may end up being restrictive with how Residents and the general public may re-use and republish the information/content.
