what makes you think an assignment is involved? my understanding of  
the coloriuris system is that it was solely based on time-limited  
licenses, as carolina pointed out.

the explicit process to opt in for licensors is similar to CC  
licenses (and other legal tools such as Founders Copyright )in  
general.  there is no opt in process for licensees under a founder's  
copyright so i don't see any parallels between founders copyright and  
Coloriuris licenses in this regard. but happy to be convinced otherwise.
