Background:
Background: Wikipedia currently uses the Free Software Foundation's Free Documentation License as its main license. Many have wanted to migrate to the similar in spirit but arguably more appropriate Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license.
The FSF has released a version 1.3 of the FDL, which includes a provision for FDL-licensed wikis to migrate to CC BY-SA before August 1, 2009.
