The CA really isn't a license in the traditional since. It's intended to be a
codification of the current way we run acceptance of contributions (i.e. the
status quo in words) with a little explanitory text thrown in and a procedure
for changing the status quo if it become necessary to do so. This is needed
because people come and go from the hobby and if we don't spell out exactly how
changes can be made and get the athors to agree to the procedure in advance
we'll be right back in the boat we are now with the very real possibility of
losing parts from the library because an author cannot be contacted.
