I can see worrying about harassment. "Inclusivity", though? (From the tone of the press release, they mean race and gender, not article subjects.) Wikipedia editors are anonymous unless they don't want to be. How can anyone tell?

I know this is weak medicine, but Wiki is CC licensed.

That means it can be forked if it turns out they are doing more than protecting people from harassment. For now let's give them the benefit of the doubt.

It also has public change logs, so it is easy to have a debate about the presence/absence of censorship.

Wikipedia's protective moat isn't the licensing, it's the SEO. You can't compete with that under any circumstances. There is absolutely nothing you can do about it. Fork all you want, your content will never show up in Google's results with a high ranking, and as such you won't get a large enough audience or editor base to matter.

I get a half of my google results for many topic with wikipedia copies, either mildly or marginally disguised.
