We've had at least one list member (ApplePiMan) state that anything stricter
than PD would probably keep him from reusing the code. He also said that
if he's lucky, he may be able to assign some (paid!) programmers to help.
Even if his business ventures don't work out the way we'd like, I think
that's still a good indication that stricter licences would limit the
audience for our code.
So I think the legalese should say "Steal this Code", but extra text should
recommend (without legal force) that code modifications be contributed back
to the project, attributions maintained, etc.
Contributors are welcome to submit things under different licenses. They
just run the risk of having them rewritten, or possibly ignored if the
license is obnoxious enough.
