But as for the license, it should be changed

that's my opinion.
I believe the key to the delay on the license is that Creative Commons
does not yet have a CC-WIKI license that does not include the "share
alike" requirement. Approxiamtely a month ago, Mr. J. Wales requested
of L. Lessig that Creative Commons make a version of CC-WIKI that
requires only attribution. About two weeks ago, I talked to J. Wales
on IRC about the license, and he said that he thought that Creative
Commons was working on it. It's my impression that there is a general
consensus among all parties involved that the license change is
desirable; the remaining tasks are clerical (although I wouldn't be
too surprised to learn that some CC folks think otherwise-- I imagine
every additional license has implications for them).
Yesterday, I scanned the recent traffic on the Creative Commons
mailing lists; the wiki license has been under discussion recently,
but not in regard to the change we've requested. The two things we
could do to help things along might be:
1. poke J. Wales again.
2. Contact someone at Creative Commons and prod them.
Anyone know the right CC person to contact?
