Yes, but the "GPL Relicensing Permission" part was there for unrelated reasons. I would remove that since (a) Creative Commons has declared CC BY-SA 4.0 as one-way compatible with GPLv3, even though the "Permission" in the FPCA covers a larger range of licenses, and (b) this probably added more complexity than actual benefit. I doubt a single question about reuse of CC BY-SA "content" in a GPL-licensed work has come up in the years since the introduction of the FPCA. If it were to come up, it could be dealt with on a case by case basis. > Is there anything we need to do to note that for content to which the old > default license applies, the 4d waiver was waived?

It was a highly obscure point when it was introduced and was essentially embedding a criticism of a flaw in the 3.0 series of CC licenses into the FPCA, perhaps unjustifiably.
