: Sound good? Contributors give up their rights to dictate what the site does
: with their contributions, so they can't demand you take it down later or
: anything; but without giving you any power to dictate how others make use
: of it, as they're not assigning copyright of their contributions to you.
: All contributors maintain their own copyrights, but they grant an

: I believe this is technically how your current non-explicit setup would be
: interpreted if it came to it in court. I'm not a lawyer, but it seems to
: me that unless otherwise stated, contributing something to a website is
: NOT implicitly transferring ownership of it's copyright, but it IS
: implicitly granting a license for the website to publish it. So it's
: implicitly what my little disclaimer up top makes more explicit.
: You like?
I do, and I'll throw it up now, at least until someone else has a modification suggestion.
Thank you.
