Hi all,
As on Commons CC-by-sa-4.0 is for some time the default license template (instead of 3.0), all the UploadWizards of all the areas in Wiki Loves Earth have now been updated.
If you have mentioned 3.0 in your documentation or website, please change this now to 4.0. (However, I would not recommend the version at all.)
Greetings, Romaine
I would also suggest allowing participants use not just CC BY-SA but also CC BY and CC 0, with defaulting to the former one, if you do not already do it.
I believe it should be up to participants how much of their rights they want to keep.

Hi Base,
this is something we discussed some years ago at Wiki Loves Monuments. Feel free to make another decision, but this is the rationale: It is common knowledge from fundraising that for every choice that you offer, you loose people.
Wiki Loves campaigns are aimed to attract new users, people who have no or little experience with Wikimedia. The copyright license is probably one of the hardest things to explain - and I'm already quite satisfied if they understand the basic idea of a free license, and if they are willing to release their pictures under it.
That is why we chose to only offer one license. We expected that the only people who may wish to pick another, are experienced Wikimedians - and they don't need the upload form per se, they can just use their usual upload method and add the templates manually.
Hope that explains! Best, Lodewijk
