Development of Creative Commons licenses

[melanie dulong de rosnay <melanie.dulong-de-rosnay AT cersa.org>]

Great news. We've been discussing since 2003 with the Free Art  
License team and they are the process of finalizing the FAL 1.3  
version and submitting it to public discussion.
From what they explained me about the versioning changes, I would  
recommend compatibility from BY-SA 3.0 to FAL 1.3 as I recommended it  
for the previous 1.2 version.
Their compatibility method will be to recognize compatible licenses  
according to criteria listed outside the license text, they are  
looking forward to the 3.0 release in order to evaluate if it matches  
their freedom criteria.

best,
