The text is out-of-date, and wrong in some places.

OSI is in the process of a refresh on the whole site, updating or
removing a lot of old cruft, and this will get swept as part of it.

I'm not convinced that OSI needs to explain contributor agreements. We
do periodically get asked to review contributor agreements, so it's
important to have some kind of statement making it clear that OSI
reviews *outbound* open source licenses, and not *inbound* agreements.
It also doesn't review the use of open source licenses as inbound=outbound.
