That is a great news, as it was an annoyance to a lot of long time contributors and some logo authors. I will start the replacement process.

But we don't want to replace templates on the MediaWiki<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:MediaWiki.svg>[4] and the Community<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wikimedia_Community_Logo.svg>[5] logos, which were originally released under free licenses. There are also some pages on Commons, like this one<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Licensing>[6], that may need to be updated based on the re-licensed logos.
