The O-RAN Software Community is adopting the Linux Foundation CLA process for both Apache licenses and O-RAN licenses.
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.

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.
