About one and a half years ago, there was a consultation process about updating the Wikimedia Terms of Use to move from CC 3.0 to 4.0 licenses.
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Terms_of_use/Creative_Commons_4.0
I would like to ask what the status of this proposal is, and whom to bother to get this unstuck in case it is stuck.
Cheers, Denny
I think this CC-4 licensing would allow for 1) sharing, 2) adapting, but 3) non-commercially. At least this is what I learned when I was in communication a number of times with the MIT associate *dean* of digital *learning Cecilia d'Oliveira *at the time about sharing CC-4 licensed MIT OpenCourseWare now in 5 languages (re WUaS). Would this indeed be the case for Wikimedia resources?
Cheers, Scott

No. OCW uses CC-NC-SA 4.0; Wikimedia uses CC-SA 3.0.
Denny is asking where we are in upgrading to CC-SA 4.0, which is a very good question. :) That will provide all of the same modes of reuse as the 3.0 license, but is more cleanly compatible with other 4.0 licenses, particularly around edge cases.

P.S. other MIT groups are moving towards licenses without the NC clause; with a little high-volume video conversion help we could accelerate this process!
