Does a CLA solve this? (Genuine question, I don't know.)
- MayeulC 6y agoYes, this is what a CLA solves. And I tend to refrain from contributing to projects that have a CLA, although it might not be reasonable: there's little difference with licensing your contribution under MIT, I think. However, if you license your project under AGPL, you probably deemed AGPL comfortable for your needs. I did too, so licensing my contribution under something else feels a bit uncomfortable, especially if it is substantial.
- dodobirdlord 6y agoNo, because if a contributor is legally not entitled to agree to the CLA and does anyway, it’s now your problem. Nemo dat quod non habet, nobody gives what they don’t have.
