As the Signpost has previously reported, the Wikimedia Foundation is currently considering re-licensing Wikimedia material so it is available under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license (CC-BY-SA), while retaining dual licensing with the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL). Currently, all of the Wikimedia projects (with the exception of Wikinews) are only licensed under the GFDL. In the coming weeks, community members will be asked to vote on the re-licensing proposal. In this article, we cover the background of the proposal and arguments regarding it, in our ongoing coverage of this issue.
