Hmmm. You have a point. But on the other hand it might be wise to do
some easy CLA like "You hereby agree that all you contributions to
rpmfusion.org are licensed under <foo>  if not otherwise specified

problems we had in EPEL recently ("Can I safely take a spec from EPEL,
modify it and use it in my Repo?").
