The process is confusing, the red tape frustrating.

Even though I am not a lawyer I feel the language is pretty clear. Also, 
I do not believe the practice of using other's work without citing it, 
even if it's scratch work, in a public forum is really acceptable just 
out of respect for other artists, you know? Even here when we build on 
each other's work I've noticed we've been very good about stating whose 
works we built upon. I think it's a good practice even outside of the 
fact that the CLA requires it, honestly.
