License for Community Contributed Art?

[Greg DeKoenigsberg]

Propose an idea and let's get legal's stance on it.  Propose a specific 
license, and why you think it is or isn't good.

It's really better not to go to legal with open-ended questions.  Figure 
out the answer that *you* want to get, and we'll fight to make it happen.
