And along those lines, if we don't believe in individual ownership,
why require a supermajority of 2/3 in order to change the license?
Why should 1/3+1 of contributors be able to dictate terms to 2/3-1?
If it's just a collective decision, to do whatever is best for the
collective, then the vote should be simple majority, not 2/3 majority.
