title: What is a Contributor License Agreement (CLA) - and who has to sign it?

If you want to contribute code (or anything else that might be subject to copyright) to our repository we ask you to sign a Contributor License Agreement (CLA), like many other open source projects.
|
|
By signing it, you explicitely allow us to use your contribution - the purpose of this process is to have agreed terms for that, and to avoid any misunderstandings.
|
|
|
|
Signing the CLA is pretty straightforward and does not involve any paperwork - we're using [CLA Assistant](https://cla-assistant.io/) by SAP SE for it, which means that you can simply sign with few clicks right out of GitHub.
|
|
|
|
1. As soon as you create a pull request to be merged into our [greenshot](https://github.com/greenshot/greenshot) repository (or add a commit to an existing pull request), a comment will ask you to sign the CLA.
|
|
2. Click the link, carefully read the document and then sign it by clicking the button.
|
|
3. That's it.
|
|
|
|
CLA Assistant will not ask you again to sign the CLA unless we apply changes to the agreement.
|
|
|
|
If you want to learn more about license agreements, you might want to have a look at [contributoragreements.org](http://contributoragreements.org/). The website also offers a license agreement chooser, which we have used to generate [Greenshot's Contributor License Agreement](https://cla-assistant.io/greenshot/greenshot).
