License update

{{Editprotected}} Site has changed license from 3.0 to 4.0. Alex Spade (talk) 17:31, 16 April 2015 (UTC)

 Do not allow a revocation of the 3.0 license. This might require two template versions, one for old files which are CC BY 3.0 and CC BY 4.0 unless removed before the license change and another one for files uploaded after the change (CC BY 4.0 only).    FDMS  4    23:35, 20 April 2015 (UTC)

Questions for discussion before template update

See also Template talk:Kremlin.ru. Controversy has got next main questions:

1. Is CC-BY-3.0 actual license for new Government.ru/Premier.gov.ru-content, appeared after April 8?
2. Is CC-BY-3.0 still actual license (in variant "it must be preserved") for old Government.ru/Premier.gov.ru-content, appeared before April 8?
3. If any of 1-2 is "Yes", then do the templates need evidence of old license (for example, from archive.org) or is history of template is enough?
4. If 1 is "Yes", what license is main today (should be mentioned in template firstly)?

In short, my opinion - 1. No; 2. No (I can change my opinion, if I will have seen any previous commons discussion about version update for non-copyleft free licensed work); 3. Have no opinion; 4. I think - CC-BY-4.0. Alex Spade (talk) 13:52, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

So, we have 3 possible new base variant of template.

Variant 1.

{{CC-BY-4.0}}

Variant 2.

{{CC-BY-4.0}}{{CC-BY-3.0}}(with note - ''before April 8'')

Variant 3.

{{CC-BY-4.0}}{{CC-BY-3.0}}

No/yes/would-be-nice/–. What needs to be done is a batch replacement of all pre-April 8 usages by a historical version of the templates ({{Government.ru/historical}}/{{Premier.ru/historical}}), then the license of the main templates ({{Government.ru}}/{{Government.ru}}) can be changed to CC BY 4.0 (only). I could replace all current usages (if you agree), otherwise we need an experienced bot operator.    FDMS  4    14:38, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

More accurate date of license update

Compared with {{Kremlin.ru}}, which had changed license from 3.0 to 4.0 on April 8, 2015,
goverment.ru had changed license between April 14 and 16. Alex Spade (talk) 16:19, 30 July 2022 (UTC)

• Some english-page found on archive.org indicates that version 3.0 was still active on April 15, 2015 [1]. Alex Spade (talk) 16:19, 30 July 2022 (UTC)
