---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Yana Welinder <[email protected]> Date: Mon, Oct 27, 2014 at 11:51 PM Subject: [Wikimedia-l] Re-licensing Wikimedia logos on Commons to CC BY-SA 3.0 To: Wikimedia Mailing List <[email protected]> Hi folks, I'm happy to announce that we are re-licensing the Wikimedia logos on Commons to CC BY-SA 3.0: https://blog.wikimedia.org/2014/10/24/wikimedia-logos-have-been-freed/ I would really appreciate your help with replacing the {{Copyright by Wikimedia}} <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Copyright_by_Wikimedia>[1] templates on the logos with the {{Wikimedia trademark}} <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Wikimedia_trademark>[2] and {{cc-by-sa-3.0}} <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Cc-by-sa-3.0 >[3] templates. 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.
