If we want to make any follow-up changes to #4966 (or revert it); let me know and I'll do that work myself, either in this PR or another one.

As I aimed to express in #4966, I don't think we need to revert it.

Yup I agree that these changes should be considered controversial. Once we sort out @DJMcNab's "other license files" thread I think this is good to go.

I've tried to capture the details here in a relatively approachable way; let me know what you think.

I've also split out the section on the contribution agreement into its own subsection for clarity.

I'm happy we're getting around to updating this. I've got some opinions about the exact details we should include and form this should take, but I think the general direction is good.

We should ensure that this reflects all of the assets licenses.

Agreed. I'd personally prefer just keeping a CSV.

I'm happy enough with this - I hope that all the claims we make here are true. At the very least, we should record checking that as a follow-up. I want to land the contributing.md changes soon-ish though

I still think this should stay directly after "at your option", however I don't want to block on that.

But it's nonstandard, and it's directly related to the dual MIT/Apache 2.0

Like this "as above" to me reads as all of the 'junk' after the dual MIT/Apache, but it really only means the dual MIT/Apache.

Created #5399 to capture the "check that everything is kosher" task that got punted. Merging now; feel free to tweak wording further in a follow-up PR.
