"By contributing code to this project, you agree to waive your

I would link to something similar to the SQLite waiver that can be
copied and pasted into the email that the individual major contributor
would send to the list along with his/her name. Does this cover all my
bases? It seems strange to live in a time where it is easier to assert
copyright restrictions than to allow people the freedom to use my code
without fear. Thanks much for the help.
