''This page is presented to contributors when they register.''
== Draft 0.11 ==
 
This is ONLY for consideration with a proposed change to the ODbL 1.0.
 
''This is a page is presented to contributors when they register. For legal reasons, this must be in French and Italian as well as English. Other informal guidance versions will be added as resources permit. It does not have to be the sole terms under which contributions are made, one off terms can be agreed with bulk contributors provided there is no clash with our principles in general and ODbL in particular.''
 
'''Version 0.11. The change from 0.9 is the deletion of "and any party that receives Your Contents" from clause 2 with corresponding insertion of a reference to DbCL in clause 3, and the increase of voting majority from 50% to 2/3 in clause 3. The LWG hopes that this is the final version that will be used subject to final review by legal counsel.'''
