CC 4 is still only in two (three?) languages (Kat may want to weigh in?) so it is premature for us to move, I think. But I'm optimistic we'll see traction in that area soon, and then we can have a movement discussion. Sorry that we can't force that to happen faster :)
[To be clear, as I've said on Commons, CC 4.0 is clearly already *acceptable* for imported images - obviously free, etc. We just shouldn't be encouraging it as the *default* anywhere until there are more languages and a movement-wide discussion.]

Hi,
Can we get an update on the transition plan to 4.0? I am seeing increasing amounts of content with 4.0 licensing across the the web, and would like us to move sooner rather than later to 4.0 in order to maintain continuity with new content where possible.
I am not a licensing expert and I sometimes get headaches trying to deconflict licenses.

Hi, Rupert-
I think the movement as a whole should try to move consistently to 4.0 at roughly the same time. It is confusing to re-users to have to juggle different terms for different pieces of Wikimedia content.[1] So Foundation content will generally remain 3.0 until we make 4.0 the default license across the projects. (I'm aware that some projects have taken this jump on the own, but where I've seen this, I've made similar points - for example < https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk:Declaration_of_con...
.)
WMF Legal plans to launch a movement-wide 4.0 discussion when CC has issued a solid number of translations, ideally in our largest languages. I understand the first few translations will be published in the next few weeks, and there is a schedule of upcoming translations on CC's wiki https://wiki.creativecommons.org/Legal_Tools_Translation#4.0[2].
Realistically, given the holidays, and the lag for large projects, this likely means that discussion will happen early in 2015.
Hope that helps- Luis
[1] I'm well aware we already have a huge problem with this, but I don't want it to get worse. :) [2] These are updated by the translation teams, not CC itself, so they may not be up-to-date/accurate.

Good point. That line can now be deleted from the trademark template.

Practical question: The template: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Wikimedia_trademark contains a line: (Consider using {{Copyright by Wikimedia <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Copyright_by_Wikimedia

instead)
Should that line be removed from the Wikimedia trademark template? (including all translations)

There are also some pages on Commons, like this one https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Licensing[6], that

Thanks,
