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. Cheers Michele
