I don't oppose that terminology because it came from you, but rather, because it is possible to participate in a community without making a copyrightable contribution of code or content. Thus, I felt that the choice of wording was poor and chose to stick with "contributor", because even though that term could also be misinterpreted, it has a reasonably well established meaning in FOSS.

Thanks for the reply. Why would you only want the people who are contributing copyrightable materials to agree to your community norms as they participate?

The particular community norms in question here only concern copyrightable material.
