Large or not,  any legal text is certainly a additional barrier.  it
isn't possible to deny that.  Sometimes the additional barrier is
justified and in other cases not.   Here is a question for you.   If
Fedora design team accepted any contributions licensed under CC-BY-SA
and dropped the necessity of FPCA and the warning at the top of

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_connect_to_the_design_team_sparkleshare

Do you honestly believe that we will lower the barrier to entry or
not?   I would submit that this is indeed the case and FPCA serves no
purpose here.
