I agree that having all contents under an all-permissive
license would be the best solution. Getting everybody's
consent will be quite an effort, though, and I doubt I'll
have the spare time to do that at the moment. Would anyone
volunteer for the job?

What would we do with macros where the author does _not_
consent?

There is no need to worry, I can deal with people
disagreeing with me. If there is a solution that makes
everybody happy, then let's do it. I run this archive for
the _users_, so it would be pretty illogical to ignore their
concerns.
