Sorry, bad comparison, then. I'm not really sure what to compare it with. We've never had to talk about things like this before (so probably the time has come you would say). First of all, we've never had people claiming "rights" to PKGBUILDs.
I agree that it is unlikely to be a problem, but the best thing to do is deal with the eventuality rather than continue with naive optimism. What needs to be done, imo: * decide on a permissive license or public domain for submitted files * add a clearly visible notification * add a note concerning the submission of files that cannot be redistributed, e.g. a copyrighted icon included in the upload * hope that no previous author ever shows up to claim copyright before the addition of the notice
