Since July 22, we have been running a public discussion about compatibility between BY-SA 4.0 and the Free Art License 1.3 ("FAL"). Thanks very much to those of you who weighed in on and off list.

This email marks the closing of the public discussion period. We see no obstacles to compatibility after doing an internal analysis of the two licenses, and we have heard virtually no misgivings from the community. As such, we plan to formally announce compatibility with the FAL. Right now, we are preparing new FAQs and other explanatory materials to accompany the announcement. We also have created a wiki page explaining the key policy decisions made during the process. We plan to make the official announcement in mid-October.

Thanks again for your input and interest. We are excited to finally bridge the gap between these two important copyleft licenses.

best,

CC Legal
