Where do we state the license for Codex?  I assume it's GPL, but don't
see it stated anywhere.

If it is indeed GPL, there are no comprehensive permissions needed.

"Anyone publishing the book on paper would have to either include
machine-readable "source code" of the book along with each printed copy,
or provide a written offer to send the "source code" later."

That's it.  In other words, if you publish Codex as a book, you must
make the "source code" (in this case the Wiki source) available upon
request.  Many publishers just ship a CD.
