Description
migrated from:
https://github.com/Whonix/Whonix/issues/355
We have https://github.com/Whonix/Whonix/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md but formalizing it in form of a CLA, DCO or FLA should be done some day. Patrick and Hula like the FLA. Needs research.
There is a tension between encouraging new contributions and making sure legal issues are settled.

- CLA: http://harmonyagreements.org/
- DCO: https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/SubmittingPatches under 12) Sign your work
- FLA: Legal Support Activities - FSFE
- Q&A: licensing - How signing out a CLA prevents legal issues in open-source projects? - Software Engineering Stack Exchange
Perhaps we can make consent part of the pull request (via CLAHub)? This feature is in development but perhaps stalled:
phabricator has a sign document feature. Interesting is both, the signature feature as well as their wording. See:
https://secure.phabricator.com/L28
(And they got a separate one for cooperates:
