CommunityBridge: EasyCLA
Ship More Code. Chase Fewer Signatures.
For contributors, maintainers, and the companies supporting their own developers, the Contributor License Agreements (CLAs) can seem like they just get in the way of growing the community around a project.
EasyCLA streamlines the process of getting developers authorized under a project's CLA for everyone.
Linux Foundation is utilizing EasyCLA see the link at https://lfcla.com/ for more information.
CLA for Developers
Get started contributing code faster and with less friction.
For contributing to O-RAN Software, you should be aware that there are two different projects, each with its own separate license. They are the O-RAN Software Community and the O-RAN Specification Code Project. You can contribute to either or both projects. To contribute to a project, you will be asked to agree to the correct CLA for that repo. If you chose to contribute to both projects,you will be asked to sign each CLA once for the O-RAN software project. You are not required to join both projects.
If you contribute to other open source project, you may be asked to the CLA in each of those
It all starts when you make a contribution.
- If you are a contributor from a company that that has a CLA manager for your project, they will sign the agreement and create a white list for all contributors. All contributors should contribute under a LF ID and corporate email from their company. If you are covered by the white list, at the time of your first contribution you will be asked to confirm your ID and participation under that agreement.
- If you are an individual contributor, you must individually sign the CLA, not just confirm.
