Add contributor license agreements #48

Closed platipodium closed 2 years ago

platipodium commented 2 years ago

Dear community,

as there are more and more contributors, I consider it necessary to formalise the legal status of code contributions. I know many do not want to bother and our legal advisors shy away from this.

So pragmatically and ss suggested earlier, I suggest to adopt the template agreements by project harmony http://harmonyagreements.org and draft an individual CLA in its most permissive form. The main issue to be resolved is whether we need to require copyright transfer or not (I favour the second).

Let me know what you think!

Thx, Carsten and I agree with you. I'll be interested in knowing others' opinion, and will also consult our college legal experts.
