A good question!

The repo containing blog posts is, as youʼve already found, is guix/guix-artwork [1]. Its README says:
| * Copying
|
| ** Guile code
|
| See [[file:COPYING][COPYING]].
|
| ** Graphics
|
| Public domain 2015 Luis Felipe López Acevedo
|
| All the graphics in this directory are dedicated to the public domain, except
| for the Guix System Distribution logo, which can be used under the Creative
| Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License.

| You can find information about authors and copyright in the metadata of SVG
| files. If you are using Inkscape, you can access the Document metadata from
| the File menu.
That is, textual works are not licensed. Specific files under website/posts/ does not feature any licence either.
In other words, nothing suggests that they are covered by GNU FDL, nor that they are free at all.
There is nothing good in absence of explicit licence, since in that way they are not even legally redistributable, but _freeing_ them actually would _not_ be in line with the usual https://www.gnu.org policy, where CC BY-ND is used, and all translations are supposed to be done via official translation teams [2].
