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 undefinedhttps://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Copyright_by_Wikimedia https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Copyright_by_Wikimedia[1] templates on the logos with the undefinedhttps://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Wikimedia_trademark https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Wikimedia_trademark[2] and undefined https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template: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 MediaWikihttps://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:MediaWiki.svg https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:MediaWiki.svg[4] and the Communityhttps://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wikimedia_Community_Logo.svg 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 onehttps://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Licensing https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Licensing[6], that may need to be updated based on the re-licensed logos.

Thanks,

Yana
