At Akademy today we agreed to adopt the updated licensing policy

https://community.kde.org/Policies/Licensing_Policy

This means docs, wikis etc should now be CC-BY-SA 4.0 which is
internationally recognised, well understood and compatible with other
popular sources such as Wikipedia and importantly our own GPL 3 source
code.

Server software is now recommended to be AGPL

Old documentation will continue to be GNU FDL which is incompatible
with CC-BY-SA 4.0, but I'll update the relicensing script to collect
names of people who are happy for this to be relicenced.
