Dear COMCIFS,

With apologies for the delay, here are the results of voting for the default licence for CIF dictionaries. CC-BY is the preferred option. I will convey this decision to the Executive for their approval.

Raw votes, in descending order of preference (note: 0 = CC0, BY= CC-BY-4.0, BY-SA = CC-BY-SA-4.0)
SW: BY 0 BY-SA
JRH: BY BY-SA 0
HJB: BY-SA BY 0
SB : 0 BY BY-SA
JB : BY-SA BY 0

Condorcet voting two-way match-ups: (x-y in cell (row A, col B) means A is preferred to B x times)
      |  0   BY  BY-SA
0     |  -  1-4   2-3
BY    | 4-1   -   3-2
BY-SA | 3-2  2-3  -

As BY wins in match-ups with both 0 and BY-SA it is the overall winner.

If you prefer preferential voting:

After distribution of first preferences:
0 1 vote
BY 2 votes
BY-SA 2 votes

Distributing second preference of CC0 vote:
BY 3 votes
BY-SA 2 votes

So in this system BY is also the preferred option.
