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
undefined<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Copyright_by_Wikimedia>
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Copyright_by_Wikimedia>[1]
templates on the logos with the
undefined<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Wikimedia_trademark>
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Wikimedia_trademark>[2]
and
undefined <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template: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>
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:MediaWiki.svg>[4] and the
Community<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wikimedia_Community_Logo.svg>
<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>
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Licensing>[6], that may
need to
be updated based on the re-licensed logos.

Thanks,

Yana
