I hereby agree to grant a MIT/BSD/ISC compatible license for any code I post publicly to my github account under "creationix". If I forget to document this while creating a project and your employer's lawyers require more documentation, please send me a friendly pull request and I'll try to promptly accept it. If I don't respond within a few hours, I'm either busy writing more code or spending time with my family. You have permission to ping me via email/twitter/skype or even phone if you have the number.
I imagine most other module authors on this list feel the same way about their open source work. I care about legal paperwork as I expect most users of facebook care if the click handler uses promises or callbacks.
