Hi everyone,
This announcement is to confirm that the Wikimedia Terms of Use[1] have
been updated effective June 7. This follows the end of the spring
consultation[2] held between February and April, and approvals recorded by
the Executive Director and General Counsel[3] per the delegation of
policy-making authority from the Foundation Board of Trustees.[4]
As part of this update, we are also happy to announce that the project
license has been upgraded to CC BY-SA 4.0[5]! Technical work has already
started on this change.
I’d like to extend one last thank you to everyone who participated in the
conversation to help us complete this update to serve the community and the
projects going forward!
Best,
Jacob
