I saw somewhere that Wikimedia is changing over to a CC-by-3.x license in the near future after some changes were made to make compatable with GDFL/GNU requirements<br><br>

<br>The simple solution is to require that all members assign the<br>copyright of all wiki-text to WM-AU, or all members give WM-AU the<br>right to relicense it. Then by resolution of the committee, or an<br>AGM, it can be relicensed any way we wish, without needing to seek<br>
permission from members who might be no longer available.<br><br>--<br>John Vandenberg<br><br>_______________________________________________<br>Wikimediaau-l mailing list<br><a href="mailto:Wikimediaau-l@lists.wikimedia.org">Wikimediaau-l@lists.wikimedia.org</a><br>
