Nope: the whole purpose of clarifying is to make it clear what are
the licensing terms, when the assignement is needed, and what are the
consequences of assigning the copyright.  

We should be short but exhaustive here.

The idea is to make sure people understand that sending patches for
Org's core is *exactly* like having the patch integrated into Emacs.
Both the copyright assignment and the agreement on the licensing terms
are preconditions.
