For the record I believe the first 5 years or so of my contributions
were under the username "msdoc", without any email association.

+1 to relicense my past contributions.

Mike,
Since I brought it up to you...
We can't retroactively apply CC BY-SA 4.0 to content that was
previously contributed under 3.0 without asking those contributors
for acknowledgement that they wish to allow that. The Fedora
situation is a little different because people were signing a CLA
that gave the project the right to retroactively do this.
Given that the bulk of documentation contributors is voting +1 to
this motion, I don't think this matters so much, but if there are
large docs or tutorials that have authors that aren't represented
here, we should reach out to cover our future selves from some headache.

I have been informed though that one change the default contribution

license of content ALREADY CONTRIBUTED without acknowledgment by the
contributors of that change.
Do we plan to seek that from the contributors?

Dear PSC,
Background
----------
Through recent clarifications made for the MapServer-documentation
GitHub repository, as well as the visible 'copyright' page on
http://mapserver.org, it was pointed out that the documentation uses
an old CC
BY-SA version, 3.0, that was released in 2007, whereas a more complete
license version 4.0 has been available since 2013.
The CC BY-SA 4.0 license was released to tackle some issues such as:
- international law / global scope
- prevent copyleft trolls
- to prevent:
https://doctorow.medium.com/a-bug-in-early-creative-commons-licenses-has-enabled-a-new-breed-of-superpredator-5f6360713299
- international translations of the license
- improved readability
- read more about "what's new" in the 4.0 series at
https://creativecommons.org/version4/
- read a short summary of the 4.0 license:
https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/
I believe that this is a good time to upgrade the
MapServer-documentation license to version 4.0
The Fedora project also recently upgraded from CC BY-SA 3.0 to 4.0 :
- read about the benefits of upgrading, for the Fedora project:
https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org/policy-proposal-update-default-content-license-to-cc-by-sa-4-0/
- read about the Fedora announcement of the CC BY-SA 4.0 default
license:
https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org/fedoras-default-license-for-content-is-now-cc-by-sa-4-0/
Motion to the PSC
-----------------
I therefore motion to the MapServer PSC that the
MapServer-documentation
license should be upgraded from CC BY-SA 3.0 to CC BY-SA 4.0
Motion voting window
--------------------
Will give 5 business days for responses.

Comments
--------
I believe this is good timing, to review the original documentation
license, before the imminent MapServer 8.0.1 release.
Thank-you for your passion, to share,
-jeff
