I'll explain in more detail. The main difference between the older version and proposed new version is that we tried to better explain which websites the terms apply to and what they mean for users. For example, we generally advocate the use of open licenses like creative commons and the MPL. But some material on our websites is not created by us or contributors but instead we license the material (and unfortunately, this means it can't be used by others without permission from the licensor). We tried to make this more clear in this version.
We also made the terms more precise by linking the specific privacy notice that explains data handling for websites and emails, linking the location where people can find more info. on DMCA reports, and highlighting that some websites have additional terms if account registration is required. We need a few days to incorporate feedback before getting the proposed version live, hence the dates, but you can of course comment anytime next week or after that. Just as with other legal and privacy documents, even after it becomes live, we continue to make clarifications based on questions and comments we receive by email, through github, and in this forum. This is more of a starting point to make it a living document that is clear and helpful.
