One can do that without having a particularly restrictive license. For
example, one could simply add a license that required that changes not
deceive people into thinking TNF had created the pages. Certainly if
someone redoes the pages for another project, it won't cause
confusion.
In any case, no such reasoning is associated with the tools.
