Do you mean that contributions done, for example, only to prawnpdf/prawn should fall under the MIT?

Hmm I've dialed back the language for now so it covers just this repo. Basically, I'd like to ensure previous Prawn contributors have opted-in to MIT.
I think what I will do instead is make a checkbox in the Issue/PR template something like [ ] I agree for my Prawn contributions (including any other contributions) to be licensed under the MIT License.
Thoughts?

I think you would need to differentiate between code for this repo and all other code written by the person which might include code for Prawn.
So maybe something like [ ] My contribution is licensed under the MIT license. (just for this repo) and [ ] I agree to license all my contributions that are/will be included in this repo under the MIT license. (for all code from that one person).
Edit: I think you may have part one already covered via the license file and the statement there. However, the second part makes more sense when the first is also there so that the difference between the two is clearly shown.

Yep that's exactly what I was thinking.
