The licensing update proposal [1] to dual license all Wikimedia
Foundation wikis under both the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL)
and the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License (CC-BY-SA) is
moving into its final phase. This proposal has been put forward by the
Foundation and made possible by recent changes in the GFDL. Adopting
the new licensing scheme is contingent on community approval. In
several days a site notice for all editors will announce the start of
three weeks of community voting on this proposal. In the mean time we
would invite you to visit the update proposal and its associated FAQ
[2] if you want to learn more. We would also appreciate your help
finishing the translation effort [3] for the core documents associated
with this process.
