I'm forwarding this to Wikipedia and Foundation-l since the poll could potentially make Wikinews incompatible with Wikipedia or any of our other projects. Currently, content from Wikinews can be used in Wikipedia (though not the other way around). CC-BY-SA is not compatible with the GNU FDL, so this would not longer be the case.
Earlier polls and discussion are at
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikinews/License_straw_poll and http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikinews/License

A poll is being held at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikinews/Licensure_Poll on whether or not to adopt the CC-by-sa 2.5 licensure for the Wikinews project.
This licensure allows any use of the articles so long as attribution credit is given to the Wikinews project and any derivations or further developments are released under an identical licensure.
The poll was suggested by jwales, and is short so the board may have an idea of how the community feels in time for their next meeting. Please visit the poll and vote; comment on the discussion page (http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Wikinews/Licensure_Poll).

And would someone *please* take me off this fucking list? I've been trying to unsub for ages.

See that link on the footer of every email to the list? That is, http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikipedia-l . Click it. There should be a "unsubscribe" button somewhere on that list. :P
