Dear Wikimedians, The below crucial e-mail from WMF Legal about re-licensing the Wikimedia logos for your information. Do spread the word among your community. Best, Vishnu -------- Forwarded Message --------
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>[1] templates on the logos with the undefined <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Wikimedia_trademark>[2] and undefined <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. Thanks, Yana [1] https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Copyright_by_Wikimedia [2] https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Wikimedia_trademark [3] https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Cc-by-sa-3.0 [4] https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:MediaWiki.svg [5] https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wikimedia_Community_Logo.svg [6] https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Licensing -- Yana Welinder Legal Counsel Wikimedia Foundation 415.839.6885 ext. 6867 @yanatweets <https://twitter.com/yanatweets> NOTICE: As an attorney for the Wikimedia Foundation, for legal/ethical reasons I cannot give legal advice to, or serve as a lawyer for, community members, volunteers, or staff members in their personal capacity.
