But as for the license, it should be changed indepandently. At least that's my opinion.
I believe the key to the delay on the license is that Creative Commons does not yet have a CC-WIKI license that does not include the "share alike" requirement. Approxiamtely a month ago, Mr. J. Wales requested of L. Lessig that Creative Commons make a version of CC-WIKI that requires only attribution. About two weeks ago, I talked to J. Wales on IRC about the license, and he said that he thought that Creative Commons was working on it. It's my impression that there is a general consensus among all parties involved that the license change is desirable; the remaining tasks are clerical (although I wouldn't be too surprised to learn that some CC folks think otherwise-- I imagine every additional license has implications for them).
Yesterday, I scanned the recent traffic on the Creative Commons mailing lists; the wiki license has been under discussion recently, but not in regard to the change we've requested. The two things we could do to help things along might be: 1. poke J. Wales again. 2. Contact someone at Creative Commons and prod them.
Anyone know the right CC person to contact?
