Okay, I have no objections against removing that. I had originally gotten this text as-is from the GNU-hosted GPLv3 wiki, see, for example, the footer at <http://gplv3.fsf.org/wiki/>: ``[...] By contributing to any page on this wiki, you agree to assign copyright for your contribution to the Free Software Foundation. The Free Software Foundation promises to always use either a verbatim copying license or a free documentation license when publishing your contribution.

Again, no real objections against changing that. I think that instead of the above-quoted paragraph I'll add some text like ``In case you don't concur with these conditions, please write to <somewhere> and we'll see about it.'' Regards, Thomas
