Comment (by tim):

 Isaac wrote: "The risk is that some contributor didn't legally actually
 agree to using the BSD license" -- exactly. Sorry I wasn't so clear
 before. What's ambiguous, legally, is just what it means for somebody to
 legally agree to using the BSD license.

 I don't know of any cases where this actually happened and caused legal
 problems for a project, but maybe someone else does. The point is, though,
 that in the absence of precedent (and AFAIK there is no case law about
 this), it *could* happen.
