Hey open source contributors,

I’m looking for examples of license agreements from big open source projects.

What are, according to you, the best license agreements? What is an important thing to check before signing a license agreement? What would be your advice to an organization drafting a license agreement to contribute to an #agpl3 project?

Thanks for sharing my question. This is something I will probably add in my open source teaching at university.

@ploum I had to sign CLAs for @bigbluebutton and .. Didn't make me happy. I don't like being told "sure you can help, but we may switch to premium code maintenance at any time". I do understand the good reasons for a company to not be stuck at some point. It just doesn't feel right. And it was, and will be abused, so.. Yeah.

@Gilou @ploum @bigbluebutton Yeah, CLA means I release fixes under incompatible licenses.
