I found this URL while looking for the disclaimers to help you out on
the paragraph below.

IANAL, TINLA. 
You do not send $1.00, it is actually supposed to be payed to you(I
believe). It was explained to me at one time that the contract that you
are signing doesn't have as much standing if there wasn't some form of
valuable item exchanged. The $1.00 is the valuable item that helps the
legal system determin that this is a valid and enforceable contract. The
$1.00 also does not really make or break Digium or you.

The other disclaimer essentially puts your work in the public domain.
With your contribution in the public domain, it can be used however
anyone wants without concern for how you feel about it.
