Proposal to switch to CC BY-SA
In 2018, Wikimedia Commons decided to no longer accept new content licensed under the GFDL. Currently, content on the Geohashing Wiki is licensed under the GFDL. In order to allow for media from this wiki to be transferred to Commons in the future, I'd like to propose to license new content here under CC BY-SA 4.0. If you are not familiar with the license, you can read about it here. What are your thoughts? --Fippe (talk) 13:29, 15 November 2021 (UTC)
- If I understood correctly, the main difference between these two licenses is that if the content is shared, it had to be accompanied by the full text of the license, but with CC it does not, right? Other things like being able to adapt, sharing-alike and attribution remain the same, don't they? If that's the case, I agree with this change. It seems convenient. --SastRe.O (talk) 16:50, 17 November 2021 (UTC)
