By signing Kaaryasthan contributor license agreement (CLA), you confirm that:
- Anyone can use your contributions anywhere, for free, forever.
- Your contributions do not infringe on anyone else's rights.
The contributor license agreement gives project maintainers assurances about where contributions are coming from and what rights are being granted along with them.
Why do you have to sign the contributor license agreement when contributing to Kaaryasthan project that is already under an open source license?
Open source licenses serve as implicit contributor agreements. A formal contributor license agreement makes contribution terms explicit and provides the project maintainers a record of your agreement to those terms.
Kaaryasthan project is released under the AGPL v3+ license, which grants permission to use but does not expressly reference copyright or patent. The contributor license agreement expressly secures copyright and patent grants from you.
When making your first pull request to a Kaaryasthan project, we want you to fully understand the permissions you are granting and make sure you have the rights needed to do so.
The CLA used by Kaaryasthan project is Fiduciary License Agreement generated from http://contributoragreements.org
