It basically states that the contributor provides their contributions under a license, as specified in the agreement. There's more information in this post: opensource.stackexchange.com/a/862/69 | |

| Jul 28, 2016 at 21:39 | comment | added | Zizouz212 | @CalebReister In some cases, committing adds a license, generally through a CLA. The Apache license includes a CLA - if you contribute to an apache licensed project, then your contributions are available under the Apache license. | |

Even if someone did use a previous version, I would expect there to be no trouble, since I don't plan on taking any legal action against them. | |
