Add Contributor License Agreements

The CLA Management Console lets you select a template style to use for your Corporate CLA and Individual CLA.

In some circumstances, you need to change the legal text of the CLA agreement in major and minor revisions:

• A major revision (for example, a change to your charter) is one in which you are legally required to have all contributors re-sign the revised agreement.

• A minor revision is one that does not change a legal perspective and contributors do not need to re-sign the revised agreement.

In these cases, you simply add the updated CLA using the same procedure as for adding the initial CLA.

Verify that the pop-up blocker is disabled on your browser before you begin this procedure.

To Add CLA:

1. Sign in to the CLA management console.

2. Click a project of interest.

3. Go to the CLA group to which you want to add a CLA and click SELECT TEMPLATE. The Select a template page appears and lists available templates.
