No, we do not wish to take copyright for works others produced. We just
want to make sure credit is given where due so people know who produced the
tool or application. Our goal is to get developers names out as much as
possible so users get familiar with each of you who contribute.

Maybe putting up a note saying that all contributions will be passed on to
other developers unless specifically asked not to?
