I hadn't noticed the new version. I'm not clear on the differences yet 
... so I won't be suggesting any changes. I note that on the HomePage I 
said "2.0 or greater/equivalent", but made no such comment on the 
CLUGWebsiteLicense page. Again, something to think about.

Yes :-) As the original author, you can contribute your work to the 
clug wiki, and see it go under cc-license. Eventually, someone will 
make a change to your original work, and the modified version cannot be 
reclaimed by you.

But you still own the original, and can place it elsewhere, under a 
different license, whenever you like.

It would be interesting if the wiki allowed a license to be chosen when 
a page is initially created. I'll think about that. Perhaps there 
should be a GLU wiki under GFDL, and the two wikis would refer to each 
other under the InterWiki map naming - CLUG:PageUnderCC and 
GLU:PageUnderGFDL ?
