Hi yana, would you be so kind to explain why wmf did not opt for the newest commons license, cc-by-sa 4.0?

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)

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
