Hi, Rupert-
I think the movement as a whole should try to move consistently to 4.0 at roughly the same time. It is confusing to re-users to have to juggle different terms for different pieces of Wikimedia content.[1] So Foundation content will generally remain 3.0 until we make 4.0 the default license across the projects. (I'm aware that some projects have taken this jump on the own, but where I've seen this, I've made similar points - for example https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk:Declaration_of_consent_for_all_enquiries&diff=prev&oldid=622093759 .)
WMF Legal plans to launch a movement-wide 4.0 discussion when CC has issued a solid number of translations, ideally in our largest languages. I understand the first few translations will be published in the next few weeks, and there is a schedule of upcoming translations on CC's wiki https://wiki.creativecommons.org/Legal_Tools_Translation#4.0[2]. Realistically, given the holidays, and the lag for large projects, this likely means that discussion will happen early in 2015.
Hope that helps- Luis
[1] I'm well aware we already have a huge problem with this, but I don't want it to get worse. :) [2] These are updated by the translation teams, not CC itself, so they may not be up-to-date/accurate.

Hi,
Can we get an update on the transition plan to 4.0? I am seeing increasing amounts of content with 4.0 licensing across the the web, and would like us to move sooner rather than later to 4.0 in order to maintain continuity with new content where possible.
I am not a licensing expert and I sometimes get headaches trying to deconflict licenses.

CC 4 is still only in two (three?) languages (Kat may want to weigh in?) so it is premature for us to move, I think. But I'm optimistic we'll see traction in that area soon, and then we can have a movement discussion. Sorry that we can't force that to happen faster :)
[To be clear, as I've said on Commons, CC 4.0 is clearly already *acceptable* for imported images - obviously free, etc. We just shouldn't be encouraging it as the *default* anywhere until there are more languages and a movement-wide discussion.]

CC 4 is still only in two (three?) languages (Kat may want to weigh in?) so it is premature for us to move, I think. But I'm optimistic we'll see traction in that area soon, and then we can have a movement discussion. Sorry that we can't force that to happen faster :)
[To be clear, as I've said on Commons, CC 4.0 is clearly already *acceptable* for imported images - obviously free, etc. We just shouldn't be encouraging it as the *default* anywhere until there are more languages and a movement-wide discussion.]

Hi,
Can we get an update on the transition plan to 4.0? I am seeing increasing amounts of content with 4.0 licensing across the the web, and would like us to move sooner rather than later to 4.0 in order to maintain continuity with new content where possible.
I am not a licensing expert and I sometimes get headaches trying to deconflict licenses.

Hi, Rupert-
I think the movement as a whole should try to move consistently to 4.0 at roughly the same time. It is confusing to re-users to have to juggle different terms for different pieces of Wikimedia content.[1] So Foundation content will generally remain 3.0 until we make 4.0 the default license across the projects. (I'm aware that some projects have taken this jump on the own, but where I've seen this, I've made similar points - for example < https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk:Declaration_of_con...
.)
WMF Legal plans to launch a movement-wide 4.0 discussion when CC has issued a solid number of translations, ideally in our largest languages. I understand the first few translations will be published in the next few weeks, and there is a schedule of upcoming translations on CC's wiki https://wiki.creativecommons.org/Legal_Tools_Translation#4.0[2].
Realistically, given the holidays, and the lag for large projects, this likely means that discussion will happen early in 2015.
Hope that helps- Luis
[1] I'm well aware we already have a huge problem with this, but I don't want it to get worse. :) [2] These are updated by the translation teams, not CC itself, so they may not be up-to-date/accurate.

Hi.
On the subject of Creative Commons...
How stable is the Creative Commons organization lately?
How tied together are Creative Commons the non-profit organization and Creative Commons the licenses?
Or perhaps more bluntly: if Creative Commons the organization collapses, what's the likely short-term and long-term impact to Wikimedia wikis?
MZMcBride
Good questions. Their Board of Directors page contains long outdated information, the last Form 990 posted on their website is from tax year 2012 (!) suggests at first glance that they had some big financial problems that year, and the most recent audit that they posted is also for tax year 2012.

I guess I am in as good a place as any to try to answer this question (and I'm speaking only for myself, here).
I think only the barest sliver of the organization needs to exist for the licenses to exist--that is, someone willing to carry on the name and core mission, even if the org can't itself pay anyone's salary to work on it full time. Much of the other work CC does is more resource-intensive, especially if it wants to take on the long-term issue of policy change, but let's say we're only concerned with the immediate scope of your question.
For your particular concern to be addressed, someone needs to be willing to undertake needed maintenance of some canonical version of the licenses. The vast majority of the time, this means simply keeping the servers running so that they remain accessible; on rare and what I hope are increasingly infrequent occasions, it means revision of the license suite. (I have joked that I will be happy to consult on the 5.0 revision from my retirement home.) The main resource this takes is time, from people with the necessary knowledge and commitment to do it. This rare process benefits from an organization that can support paying for full-time work on it, but does not strictly require it.
So the organization and the licenses are tied together in that someone needs to be the license steward, but not necessarily the organization in its current form. (The real requirement is that the license steward have the trust of the license-using community, so that people will still use the CC licenses as stewarded by whoever does it. It is possible to have competing forks of the licenses and this is a bad idea for the same reason forks of many types of standards with network effects are a bad idea.) CC currently has seen better times--in an attempt to make its financial situation sustainable many staff were recently let go, which is why I am no longer there. But it is not yet down to bare bones, and I think there is a much greater likelihood that support would continue to exist for that bare bones work (and if I'm putting my speculative hat on, paths for such support could include getting taken under the wing of a law school, for example).
tl;dr: CC has its struggles but this is not something I currently see as a major concern.

It's important to note that CC has dozens of independent national "chapters" (affiliates https://wiki.creativecommons.org/Category:Jurisdictions ), many of which are university centres/departments; some are rather big and do international work as well, like NEXA ( https://wiki.creativecommons.org/Italy ).
It's impossible for them all to collapse at once; in case of fatal emergency, it would probably be comparatively easy to transition the barebone CC infrastructure (main trademarks and website) from one org to another.

It appears to me from my surface-level review that there are some long-term finance and governance troubles at the main CC org. Now seems like a good time for WMF and other relevant orgs to develop a contingency plan in case the main CC org continues to have problems or ceases to be functional. I hope that the CC chapers have contingency plans, and I hope that we on this list will hear directly from WMF Legal that they are watching this situation carefully and are making appropriate plans based on what they learn.
Thanks,

Kat,
Thanks for the comments. You say that CC "has its struggles but this is not something I currently see as a major concern". Would you be able to encourage CC to post more recent 990s and audits so that others can evaluate for ourselves? If CC published a rehabilitation plan, that would be helpful too.

CC 4 is still only in two (three?) languages (Kat may want to weigh in?)

it is premature for us to move, I think. But I'm optimistic we'll see traction in that area soon, and then we can have a movement discussion. Sorry that we can't force that to happen faster :)
[To be clear, as I've said on Commons, CC 4.0 is clearly already *acceptable* for imported images - obviously free, etc. We just shouldn't be encouraging it as the *default* anywhere until there are more
languages
and a movement-wide discussion.]

Hi,
Can we get an update on the transition plan to 4.0? I am seeing
increasing
amounts of content with 4.0 licensing across the the web, and would
like us
to move sooner rather than later to 4.0 in order to maintain continuity with new content where possible.
I am not a licensing expert and I sometimes get headaches trying to deconflict licenses.

Hi, Rupert-
I think the movement as a whole should try to move consistently to 4.0
at
roughly the same time. It is confusing to re-users to have to juggle different terms for different pieces of Wikimedia content.[1] So Foundation content will generally remain 3.0 until we make 4.0 the default license across the projects. (I'm aware that some projects have taken this
jump on
the own, but where I've seen this, I've made similar points - for
example
<
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk:Declaration_of_con...
.)
WMF Legal plans to launch a movement-wide 4.0 discussion when CC has issued a solid number of translations, ideally in our largest languages. I understand the first few translations will be published in the next few weeks, and there is a schedule of upcoming translations on CC's wiki https://wiki.creativecommons.org/Legal_Tools_Translation#4.0[2].
Realistically, given the holidays, and the lag for large projects, this likely means
that
discussion will happen early in 2015.
Hope that helps- Luis
[1] I'm well aware we already have a huge problem with this, but I
don't
want it to get worse. :) [2] These are updated by the translation teams, not CC itself, so they
may
not be up-to-date/accurate.

There are only two official translations of the 4.0 suite currently (Norwegian and Finnish), with another ready to publish fairly soon, maybe 10 or so others in progress. (I note that I'm not there anymore, though, and can't speak to how things will go forward.)
