After two weeks of voting, the Wikinews community has chosen which license they'd like for their project. I won't post the full results here, but you can view them on Meta - http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikinews/Licensure_Poll
Now... The winner is CC-By 2.5, with the attribution to the Wiki. The license is one-way-compatible with the GFDL. It gained 27 votes of support from Wikinewsies with only four votes against.
It needs to be mentioned, that the GFDL gained 11 opposing votes from Wikinewsies, with only one vote of support. But the combination of GFDL and CC-By 2.5 gained 8 votes of support, with only one opposing vote.
The Wikinews License 0.2, based on the BSD license, gained 14 votes of support, but 8 people were against it.
Not many people were interested in the other licenses, so... I think that's it. The Wikinews community choosed CC-By 2.5 for the Wikinews project. Now it's up to the Board to decide on the project license. So... What does everyone say?
