Yes, everyone who signs up for commit access for OSGeo Live needs to 
agree to the following on our archived email list:

    /"Hi all, I'd like to contribute XXX to OSGeo-Live. Could I please
    get access to subversion. My osgeo-user id is: YYYY./

    /I confirm that my contributions to OSGeo-Live will be compatible
    with the OSGeo-Live license guidelines at the time of contribution."/


    The licenses used for the OSGeo-Live build scripts and documentation
    are:

      * /Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License
        for Quickstarts/
      * /Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported License for Project
        Overviews/
      * /LGPL version >=2.1 for the install scripts/
      * /One of the OSI approved Open Source licenses for installed
        applications/
      * /Public domain, CC-By-SA, and Open Data Commons Open Database
        License (ODbL) for data/
