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}} <
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
