Yes, it means:

- XWiki code is under the LGPL (and not GPL)
- XWiki.org website is under the CC
- The default Wiki pages are under the CC
- You can put whatever license you want for your own pages and yes  
you can do exactly what you said, i.e. "keep the creative commons  
license on the xwiki specific documents and remove the creative  
commons license footer on my on content and data"
