Just a thought: maybe this is a sign a clearer message should be
placed on the Clojure contributing page. In any case, it can't hurt to
be more clear can it?

FYI I've submitted a couple of small patches to this group and read
the contributors agreement and the SCA FAQ. After going through this
process I was still under the impression it was OK to just submit
patches into the public domain. Rich even 'applied' the tiny 'patch'.

F.E. Rich makes things perfectly clear:

I don't want code from someone unwilling to put their real name on
it.

and

The problems of open source projects that didn't do a good job of
provenance, and then wanted to switch or expand license options, are
well known.

I think 'someone' should seriously think about putting these on the
contributors page. There is no way to misinterpret these statements.
If these statements (or something similar) are on the contributors
page I suspect it's unlikely this issue will ever be revisited. I do
not think strong clear statements like this would dissuade anyone from
contributing.

Btw, I have been trying to track 'someone' down for several decades.
If 'anyone' knows who this specific person is please let me know. :)

Cheers.
