[Foundation-l] RfC: License update proposal

[David Goodman]

There is an analogous project. The thousands of contributors of
quotations exemplifying use to the Oxford English Dictionary have
their names listed, though not with the items they sent.  the
principal ones are listed separately, but even those who sent in a
single quotation are in a list. I know people who have done just that,
and are quite reasonably very pleased to be included there.
