- lmm 6y agoPlenty of projects require a CLA, which seems pretty similar paperwork-wise?
- rleigh 6y agoAbsolutely similar, but don't underestimate the friction this introduces, and the number of potential contributors you cut off by doing this. Getting corporate sign-off for such things can take months while it wends its way through legal departments and upper management. Many people won't even bother, it's such a hassle. Last one I did was for Apache. It took at least six months. Previously did several for GNU which were much quicker (in a different company).
