It was discussed on the mailing list. The only reason I added this to
the agenda was that I realised there had been discussion about this on
the Wikinews list starting over two weeks ago that had not yet been
resolved. Details are in this thread:

The page at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikinews/License says
arguments will be collected until August 17. Since that was 10 days
ago, it seems overdue for a decision to be made, or at least for it to
be put on the agenda so more people are aware of it. An older
discussion is at
