Developer discussion for Creative Commons technology and tools

[Maarten Zeinstra <mz AT kl.nl>]

Well I guess it boils down to: "we are not lawyers”. I would be happy to 
contribute to a repository if their is already a license on it, I consider 
myself educated enough that I assume that my contributions are licensed in 
that way. I have never signed an agreement with CC but I did some pull 
requests. Does that mean that I own the copyright to those changes? I also 
forked the CC theme without a License I believe. Bjorn did that a couple a 
years to I believe.  For me these agreements only need to happen when you 
expect so many contributors that you cannot build a personal relation with 
each of them. I don’t see that happening at the moment for the reasons I have 
given. So I have no feedback.
