The Developer Certificate of Origin is a great alternative to a CLA
Read OriginalThis article discusses the benefits of using the Developer Certificate of Origin (DCO) over Contributor License Agreements (CLAs) for open-source projects. It uses Amazon's OpenSearch fork as an example, criticizing CLAs as tools that can enable relicensing to proprietary licenses, as Elastic did. The DCO, built into git, provides a simpler way for contributors to certify the origin and licensing of their work, protecting project integrity without the risks associated with CLAs.
