Wikivoyage:License upgrade

See also Wikivoyage:License upgrade (wts-old)

Some of Wikivoyage's content is derived from Wikitravel, who upgraded its license from Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 1.0 ("CC 1.0") to Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 ("CC 3.0"). Statements indicating consent and refusal to relicense your own content were accepted until December 31st, 2009. There was a broad consensus in favor, and the license was upgraded.


Rationale

edit

By upgrading from the older CC 1.0 to the latest CC 3.0, Wikivoyage...

  • Is able to use text contributions from other CC 2.0+ licensed projects. This includes Wikipedia, World66, HitchWiki, Travellerspoint and many, many more.
  • Became more international. CC 1.0 is limited to American copyright law. CC 3.0 is available in jurisdiction-specific versions, giving you extra protection for reuse outside the United States.
  • Has a more secure legal position. Creative Commons has worked hard on patching loopholes in the original CC 1.0, and will continue to do so in the future.
  • Became future compatible. CC 1.0 does not have provisions for automatic updating (which is why this process is necessary), but CC 3.0 will automatically upgrade to the latest version.

Your Attribution and ShareAlike rights as a contributor are protected as well as or better by CC 3.0 than by CC 1.0. CC 1.0 was originally chosen only because there were no other practical options when Wikitravel was launched. A detailed discussion of the differences is available at Creative Commons:

Process

edit

Three options were given during the following process:

  1. Consent by signing the Consent section below. This means you consent to relicense all your contributions to all Wikitravel versions under CC 3.0.
  2. Refuse by signing the Refuse section below. This means that you oppose the license change, and do not consent to relicense your written work. If community consensus is to proceed with the migration, your contributions may be removed from Wikitravel.
  3. Do nothing. If the community proceeds with the migration, your contributions may be either kept or deleted at the discretion of the site's other users. If you want to discuss your support or opposition to the license change, add a comment to Talk:License upgrade. You can later return and sign under Consent or Refuse.
