Creative Commons is pushing the use of their 4.0 license (which I have no qualms with).
Has/can legal review this new license[0] as a drop-in replacement for the 3.0 license[1]
we are currently using for Fedora Documentation (with the waiving the rights to enforce
Section 4d)? I'm unsure of any benefits or regressions we would have (I haven't
personally compared the two and IANAL).
It can't be a (pure) drop-in replacement (you can't 'relicense'
existing CC BY SA 3.0 stuff) and the FPCA still makes CC BY SA 3.0 (+
moral rights waiver etc.) the default content license. The latter is
possibly worth changing.
I have personally concluded that the 4.0 licenses are at least
marginally better than the 3.0 Unported ones, FWIW.
