As of 2007-01-01 the OpenPKG Project [0] policies [1] were slightly
changed (see under [X] below for wording) to allow more transparently
to protect the clear and straightforward OpenPKG license [2], issued to
everyone by the OpenPKG Project, from being attenuated and undermined by
third parties' rights. For this it is necessary that __Contributors__
ensure the OpenPKG Project receives all rights required to continue this
offering by explicitly acceeding the new OpenPKG Contributor Agreement
(OCA) document [3].

[X] | Users utilizing OpenPKG resources, products or services to submit
| information with the intention to improve OpenPKG Project resources,
| products or services implicitly contribute that information to
| the OpenPKG Project for redistribution under the OpenPKG Project
| license unless they explicitly mark the information as being "not a
| contribution" simultaneously with the submission.
|
| OpenPKG Project backers may ask contributors of frequent, nontrivial
| or otherwise legally rated critical submissions to explicitly accede
| to the OpenPKG Contributor Agreement (OCA) to safeguard the OpenPKG
| Project license from diluting and from being undermined by third
| parties' rights.
