[FM Discuss] wikimedia foundation license discussion

[adam hyde]

hey

perhaps some of you may have seen this already (I know Brianna is active
in this discussion):
http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Resolution:License_update

its a resolution from the Wikimedia Foundation which revolves around
getting out of the troublesome FSF Free Documentation License


in essense the situation is:
"As you've probably read, the Wikimedia Foundation has agreed in
principle to support an update of Wikipedia content from the GFDL to
CC-BY-SA, pending a community approval of such a migration. The FSF
and Creative Commons are supporting us to make this transition
possible."
