Wikipedia:Image license migration
The licensing update will move Wikipedia from licensed under the GFDL to dual licensed under GFDL plus Creative Commons CC-BY-SA 3.0.
As a part of this transition, any images licensed under the GFDL and meeting certain conditions described below may also be dual licensed.
Media file relicensing criteria[modificare sursă]
To be eligible for relicensing, a file must meet the following conditions (set out in GFDL 1.3, section 11):
- Must be licensed under the GFDL 1.3 (including e.g. "GFDL 1.2 or any later version", but not including "GFDL 1.2 only").
- Must not be marked as having any "cover texts" or "invariant sections".
- Must have been uploaded to Wikipedia or to some other Wikimedia project before August 1, 2009.
- If first published under the GFDL somewhere other than a Wikimedia project, must have been uploaded to Wikipedia or to some other Wikimedia project before November 1, 2008.
Any file that meets these conditions may also be used under a Creative Commons {{cc-by-sa-3.0}} license as of June 15th, 2009.
