Are there any actual lawyers behind this project? Or is it yet another site where every other guy from the Internet who thinks he knows what some license means decides to tell everyone else about it?

Anybody can edit the license summary and attributes, so it's literally "every other guy from the internet"


So it's a lot like the following comment which I grabbed from somewhere on the Interweb:

"Wikipedia is the best thing ever. Anyone in the world can write anything they want about any subject, so you know you are getting the best possible information." - Michael Scott


Well I didn't try that, but other comments here say that you may suggest changes which then must be approved by a manager.

But even if anyone could post and edit content without any approval process, the content could still be heavily moderated after the fact.

So my question still stands.
