Primarily to take advantage of contributor licence — protect code and adopters from potential claims of ownership/rights.   Note this would mean tracking down signatures from all those who have committed to our code.

All good to move in this direction.  Committers have agreed to responsibility. Need copyright practices, apache-2 statements, contributor licenses, discussions with developers, committers, governace.  Building shared understanding.
