It can't be a (pure) drop-in replacement (you can't 'relicense' existing CC BY SA 3.0 stuff) and the FPCA still makes CC BY SA 3.0 (+ moral rights waiver etc.) the default content license. The latter is possibly worth changing. I have personally concluded that the 4.0 licenses are at least marginally better than the 3.0 Unported ones, FWIW. - RF _______________________________________________ legal mailing list [email protected] https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/legal
