A nice move indeed, but I am wondering why you not chose the cc-by 4.0?

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}} <

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
