your book has a copyright, where all rights are reserved, thus no one
can copy/redistribute your book without you (or more likely your
publisher's) consent.
i believe the motiviation is that the wiki admins/contributors
might want to have a copyright that is slightly less restrictive
than "all rights reserved". the best way to specify what the terms
of use, copying, modification, and/or redistribution are is via
a license.
