 Thank you, I will bring up the issue with the community.
Could you, or someone on the list make a recommendation, what would be the
ideal licence (e.g. CC-BY 2.5; 3.0; 2.5 and later; CC-BY-SA) to keep
compatibility with the other Wikinewses and to have a desirable license that
can be promoted for adoption by other news outlets to allow cooperation.

Best regards,
Bence
