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.
Thanks,
Pine

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_co…
.)
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.
