It's a cool idea, but we have to take care to keep people aware that 
these are different projects with sometimes very different goals.

From our perspective, we need to ensure that there is traceability and 
accountability so that we can deal with people uploading works which 
are not theirs to license, and we also need to keep our project scope 
in mind.
