Marketing fluff added. ;)

How is this press release getting released, when, and where-to? Sorry I 
haven't been able to keep up with this discussion previously.

Specifically, I added:

* The standard "this is a press release!" headers ("FOR IMMEDIATE 
RELEASE", location/date before the body text)

* A headline (Fedora Project relicenses content to CC-BY-SA)

* A boilerplate snip of org info at the bottom, yanked from 
http://fedoraproject.org/ (do we have a more official one to use for 
press releases? I couldn't find one.)

* A shiny quote from Ian (this just in from IRC)

* A contact info section

* ### at the bottom, which is PRspeak for "end of press release"

(For an example of what a professional press release looks like, see 
http://www.redhat.com/about/news/prarchive/2009/fedora11.html - you'll 
see all these elements in there.)

It still needs:

* filling in of contact information at the bottom - Marketing folks, how 
we want to handle press releases is probably something we want to figure 
out in general at some point.

* copyediting (I suck at making sure spelling/grammar/etc is 100% 
correct; my quick pass usually gets things to 90-95%)

* more nice quotes, perhaps from Sparks or quaid or stickster - 
something like... "This relicensing effort will enable us to 
$list_of_awesomeness, we'd like to thank $these_people," said $name, 
$impressive-sounding-title. "$shiny_media_soundbite!"

Docs folks, if you want more help with this, can you shoot us a ticket 
(https://fedorahosted.org/marketing-team/newticket) and summarize this 
email thread in the comments so that we have a bit of context?
