Don't worry, that won't happen unless I get more people (coders) help
me. I don't have the time to follow through with something like that.

OK, so what legal documents are there that I can make people sign, say,
for code that will not be integrated into a GNU project at this time,
but might be when the time comes?
I know that certain "qualified signatures" (e.g. via X.509 cert, signed
by a "trusted party", i.e. Thawte/Verisign etc.) do have legally
binding status in some legislations at this point. I wonder if these
things can be be used to sign code including a contract that contains
the same stuff that we need to sign when contributing to GNU projects.
If we can get the "paper" out of "paperwork", things would suddenly
become much more manageable.
