Subject: [Wikimedia-l] Re-licensing Wikimedia logos on Commons to CC BY-SA 3.0
To: Wikimedia Mailing List <wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org>


Hi folks,

I'm happy to announce that we are re-licensing the Wikimedia logos on
Commons to CC BY-SA 3.0:
https://blog.wikimedia.org/2014/10/24/wikimedia-logos-have-been-freed/

I would really appreciate your help with replacing the {{Copyright by
Wikimedia}}
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Copyright_by_Wikimedia>[1]
templates on the logos with the {{Wikimedia trademark}}
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Wikimedia_trademark>[2] and
{{cc-by-sa-3.0}} <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Cc-by-sa-3.0>[3]
templates. But we don't want to replace templates on the MediaWiki
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:MediaWiki.svg>[4] and the Community
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wikimedia_Community_Logo.svg>[5]
logos, which were originally released under free licenses.

There are also some pages on Commons, like this one
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Licensing>[6], that may need to
be updated based on the re-licensed logos.

Thanks,

Yana
