> What about the Apache Foundation CLA? This CLA is one of the better ones, because it doesn’t transfer copyright over your work to the Apache Foundation. I have no beef with clauses 1 and 3-8. However, term 2 is too broad and I would not sign this CLA. Term 2 of the CLA just defines inbound=outbound for Term 2 of the License (https://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0 https://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0). The Apache CLA is pretty benign (for projects that are distributed under the Apache license; sometimes it is used for projects distributed under different licenses and then it gets murky), but the overhead to contributors and maintainers is significant and it is less precise than a Developer's Certificate of Origin. The "Inbound=Outbound Is All You Need" section of this post is on-point. http://ebb.org/bkuhn/blog/2011/07/07/harmony-harmful.html http://ebb.org/bkuhn/blog/2011/07/07/harmony-harmful.html
