thank you very much, it's about time this happens! It might be an idea to detail the exact license differences a little bit more prominent?

Hello all,
Today we opened a discussion asking for community input https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Terms_of_use/Creative_Commons_4.0 on a proposed change to the Wikimedia Terms of Use to upgrade to Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International license https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/. The new license is easier to read and more internationally friendly, so we hope it will ensure that people can easily and freely share or remix Wikimedia content. The amendment to our Terms of Use is currently available in German, French, Spanish, Russian, Arabic, and we welcome further translations and discussion in any language.
For your review, you may find the proposed amendment and background information here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Terms_of_use/Creative_ Commons_4.0/Legal_note

Great, Stephen and Rupert!
I'd like to invite you both (and all Wikidatans in the SF Bay Area) to the Wikidata 4th birthday party on Wednesday, October 26 from 12:30-1:30 at Red Door Coffee SF on 111 Minna Street - https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Fourth_Birthday/Events. Perhaps we can talk further about some of these CC 4.0 questions there.
I'm also going to bring a birthday cake for everyone.
Friendly Wikidata cheers, Scott
