Arch Linux starts licensing PKGBUILDs (lwn.net)

I'm very minimally affected by this; I have a PKGBUILD I submitted to the AUR that was then yanked up into community.

I don't care about the "license" change/clarification itself. But I hate how their email was phrased:

  > No action required: We're licensing your package source contributions under 0BSD
  > ...
  > IF YOU CONSENT TO THIS, you don't have to do anything.
This is completely backwards thinking. YOU don't license my contributions, I DO. Doing nothing is the opposite of consent.

Ugh.
