Progress on license interoperability with Wikipedia

[ComputerHotline]

As announced last night by Jimmy Wales (video), the Wikimedia Foundation board has passed a resolution on licensing:
* The Foundation requests that the GNU Free Documentation License be modified in the fashion proposed by the FSF to allow migration by mass collaborative projects to the Creative Commons CC-BY-SA license;
* Upon the announcement of that relicensing, the Foundation will initiate a process of community discussion and voting before making a final decision on relicensing.

Pour les non-anglophones, il s'agit d'une résolution afin de rendre compatible la GFDL avec la CC by-sa notamment sur Wikipedia.

Wikipedia and Creative Commons next steps
Lawrence Lessig, December 6th, 2007

Last week the Wikimedia Foundation board took an important step toward giving Wikipedia the right to choose to migrate to a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license. Credit goes to the Wikimedia Foundation and Free Software Foundation for having the wisdom and foresight to enable this progress.
