CA, CLA, CAA, DCO, FLA – what do they stand for and what are the differences?

The session will discuss the risks and opportunities for various stakeholders, spanning from communities, businesses, and projects to individual developers. It will try to explain what does the exact wording and legal language of a contributor agreement mean for each of them.

In addition, the session will explore existing and future challenges and strive to find a fair balance for relevant stakeholders. It will discuss simplification, automation and tooling opportunities and interact with the audience and participants to find common ground and a fair balance.

As a starting point for further discussion, we will use the “Fiduciary License Agreement” and the standardized contributor agreements as examples.
