Slavek raised some good points.

I went through the individual CLA and my understanding is that it should 
be signed by both the Contributor and by "Us". Am I right? How is the 
Contributor getting a copy from "Us" after the signature? It would be 
good to add some information as well.


As a general observation, I have no problem with a CLA (as long as my 
employer approves that) and I do understand why you want to introduce 
them, but I think it may scare away potentially new contributors in case 
they come along, especially people from outside the US. The contents of 
the CLA is "nothing new", but being a legally binding document, some 
people may just think "What the hell? I will join another open project".

Just my 2 cents.
