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 The Spring project recently switched from requesting a CLA to a simpler DCO, if that’s interesting to you.
