Re: Licensing of www.kde.org?

I wrote parts of a handful of announcements. CC-BY-3.0 is fine by me.

I wouldn't mind giving e.V. the authority to define additional CC-BY versions, 
similar to a provision we optionally have for (L)GPL versions ("This library 
is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of 
the GNU Library General Public License as published by the Free Software 
Foundation; either version 2 of the License or (at your option) version 3 or, 
at the discretion of KDE e.V. (which shall act as a proxy as in section 14 of 
the GPLv3), any later version.")
