Forums: Index > Watercooler > New licensing
Those of you who have been editing recently may have noticed that your contributions are now under a different license/licence: CC-BY-SA, which is the standard abbreviation for the "Creative Commons" license now used by Wikipedia, most other Wikimedia sites (such as Commons), and most of the Wikia family of sites.
Little practical difference; and because we changed when Wikipedia did we can continue to copy from it, subject to the standard acknowledgment. I've updated {{EnWP}} accordingly.
