For example, the Apache HTTP Server docs project appears to retain copyright for their collective text (and collects royalties for non-exclusive publishing by third parties.) On the other extreme, if you peruse Linux Document Project contributions, you'll find most works are copyrighted by their respective authors. AFAIK, the Cocoon project's language (e.g. contrib.xml) only discusses copyright issues as related to contributions of *code*. What is your understanding? (1) User contributed-docs must be provided with ASF-compatible terms; or (2) users retain copyright to their contributions. I don't care, either way. I'd just like to clarify the situation up front for would-be authors.
