Don't sign a CLA
Read OriginalThis article strongly advises open-source contributors to never sign Contributor License Agreements (CLAs). It explains that CLAs grant project maintainers excessive power, including the ability to relicense contributions under more restrictive or even closed-source licenses, which violates the spirit of open source. The author views CLAs as a betrayal of the contributor community and a threat to software freedom, citing examples like Redis Labs.
