Re: New concept

Your point is well made.

Contributors might however be leery of spending much time on a project that requires copyright assignment to the entity that coordinates the project in future, thus leading to a chilling effect on new projects.

Without copyright assignment, changing the licence like this would require consultations and unanimous agreement I think.
