That seems a bad situation in two ways: 1. even though I think SPI is A Good Thing, I will not assign copyright to it because I feel that would make it more attractive to attackers. SPI already holds too many assets for too long, in my opinion. 2. I feel that forcing a choice between copyright assignment and being airbrushed out of the website is rather at odds with the usual idea of voluntary contributions to the project. It seems like demanding a fee before work is considered on its merits for inclusion. Nevertheless, I probably would grant DPLs (or suitable delegates) permission to pick a dual licence for material on the website if asked, so long as the previous licence(s) also held.
