 You can always contribute with ideas and bug reports on the mailing
 list.  If you want to contribute a patch, code snippets, or a full
-add-on, this is very welcome too!  However, we can only make it an
-official part of Org-mode if you have signed a copyright assignment
-with the [[http://www.fsf.org/][Free Software Foundation]], because Org-mode is distributed as

+add-on, this is very welcome too!  We do distribute good add-ons as
+contributed packages.  However, to integrate additions into the
