- throwaway11460 3y agoAs the owner of the intellectual property you're the one licensing to others. License is a kind of contract. You're not under any license yourself, it's yours. If you accepted PRs without a contributor agreement transferring the ownership, you might be infringing on their IP (licensed to you and others).
