I've been reading this, but I am still not clear on some points. As
the originator and author of the Base documents I write, aren't I the
one to whom the copyright belongs?
When someone contributes to the documents, are they agreeing with
the copyright that is contained in the document when they make their
contribution?
Why can't the few of us who contribute to the Base documents
seemingly should be considered to be the holders of the Base document
copyrights agree to change the licenses under which these documents are
copyrighted? Isn't this within our rights?
