License of the type defintions #60

Hi,

in your license text you state: "Copyrights are respective of each contributor listed at the beginning of each definition". This is a huge problem as the default license for everything publicly posted is: "You have no license to use this". Not defining a contribution policy is prohibiting a legally safe use of any of the defintions. If you want to include the defintions in any project you would be required to ask each contributor who has not put a license in his defintions for agreement. I would suggest that you put an implicit CLA (contributors license agreement) onto this page and make clear that each post without license will be published under this license.

Cheers
