  • For 2 communities (Writing and Outdoors) the License drop down list when making a new post shows an option of CC BY-SA 3.0:
  • ![Dropdown list for license, showing CC BY-SA 3.0](https://meta.codidact.com/uploads/i2w0lfn0gvyn8jbak3qsnhroxn28)
  • For all of the other Codidact communities this option is not present.
  • Is the option only there for historical reasons, or do Writing and Outdoors have community-specific reasons for needing CC BY-SA 3.0 to be selectable in future?
  • If it's just that some posts have that license historically, could it be removed from the drop down list to prevent it being used for new posts?

License CC BY-SA 3.0 only available on Writing and Outdoors
For 2 communities (Writing and Outdoors) the License drop down list when making a new post shows an option of CC BY-SA 3.0:

![Dropdown list for license, showing CC BY-SA 3.0](https://meta.codidact.com/uploads/i2w0lfn0gvyn8jbak3qsnhroxn28)

For all of the other Codidact communities this option is not present.

Is the option only there for historical reasons, or do Writing and Outdoors have community-specific reasons for needing CC BY-SA 3.0 to be selectable in future?

If it's just that some posts have that license historically, could it be removed from the drop down list to prevent it being used for new posts?
