WikiToLearn is currently dual licensing CC-BY-SA 3.0 / GNU FDL and
we're considering just dropping FDL as it is quite cumbersome and we
don't really use it anyways.
We would need to keep BY-SA, but I am unaware of any particular
difference between 3.0 and 4.0. We can of course evaluate only
backward compatible changes, and we need to be backward compatible
with 3.0 for a long time due to the usage of Wikimedia Commons content
(still mostly 3.0).

Bye,
