Licensing update roll-out
As per the licensing update decision by the community and the Board,
I've updated the site terms on the English Wikipedia (and the WMF
website) today, and posted a reference copy of the site-wide terms of
use to:

http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Terms_of_Use

The Wikimedia Commons licensing task force has gone ahead and updated
the relevant GFDL templates on Commons to indicate that eligible media
files may also be available under CC-BY-SA.

The English Wikipedia roll-out serves as a reference implementation
and may lead to some final tweaks in the terms and language. In the
coming days, we'll begin the translation and roll-out in other
eligible projects and languages. Communities will be able to customize
the messages and terms within limits, as described here:

http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Licensing_update/Implementation

Our site-wide roll-out will likely override any project-local
bottom-up implementation between now and then.
