Re: [Wikimedia-l] Wikiwand

[James Heilman]

From what I understand we are moving to the CC BY-SA 4.0 license ourselves
eventually.

I have been in discussions with the World Health Organization for the last
few years about them licensing more stuff under a CC BY SA license.

The original road block was that the 3.0 license tied them to a national
jurisdiction while their set up does not allow this. The 4.0 license was
designed to address this.

I am hoping to meet with WHO again this fall so hopefully we will have
moved by than. Stephen is there a timeline for this?

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Wikiwand

[Ruslan Takayev]

Wikiwand states: "Text is available under the CC BY-SA 4.0 license"

WMF projects are available under the CC BY-SA 3.0 license.

Correct me if I am wrong, but these licenses are not interchangeable and
therefore the entire Wikiwand site is a copyright violation?

Warm regards,

Ruslan Takayev
