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.

I once ran a project with a few thousand global clients, each with dozens to hundreds of end-users. A big part of this was that clients could use plugins. However, when I […]

@ploum @albertcardona I don't think we should have contributor license agreements, which seem to exist only to ensure that the (often corporate) steward of the project can unilaterally change […]

@ploum I saw this github.com/open-webui/open-web… going around this week and found it interesting, maybe worth mentioning for this type of issue.
