<pre>Hi folks,
I'm happy to announce that we are re-licensing the Wikimedia logos on
Commons to CC BY-SA 3.0:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://blog.wikimedia.org/2014/10/24/wikimedia-logos-have-been-freed/">https://blog.wikimedia.org/2014/10/24/wikimedia-logos-have-been-freed/</a>
I would really appreciate your help with replacing the undefined
<a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Copyright_by_Wikimedia"><https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Copyright_by_Wikimedia></a>[1]
templates on the logos with the undefined
<a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Wikimedia_trademark"><https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Wikimedia_trademark></a>[2] and
undefined <a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Cc-by-sa-3.0"><https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Cc-by-sa-3.0></a>[3]
templates. But we don't want to replace templates on the MediaWiki
<a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:MediaWiki.svg"><https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:MediaWiki.svg></a>[4] and the Community
<a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wikimedia_Community_Logo.svg"><https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wikimedia_Community_Logo.svg></a>[5]
logos, which were originally released under free licenses.
There are also some pages on Commons, like this one
<a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Licensing"><https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Licensing></a>[6], that may need to
be updated based on the re-licensed logos.
Thanks,
Yana
