Dear Elmar, I just wanted to add to the advice of not writing new licenses, that part of the problem that you are trying to address can be solved by requiring a contributor agreement before merging contributions into your software's main line. See for instance <https://owncloud.org/contribute/agreement/>. Have a nice Sunday, -- Charles Plessy Tsurumi, Kanagawa, Japan
