Wikipedia votes on copyright migration

A Wikipedia community vote is now underway on migrating to Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike as the main content license for Wikimedia Foundation projects.

This would remove a legal barrier to reusing Wikipedia content with other free culture projects and vice versa. Wikipedia is currently using the Free Documentation License because Wikipedia was started before Creative Commons existed.

To qualify to vote, you must have made 25 edits to a Wikimedia site prior to March 15, 2009, using your login profile.
