Canonical Rolling Out Improved CLA Process For Ubuntu Contributions


Canonical's Contributor License Agreement (CLA) used for various projects they develop around Ubuntu Linux isn't changing itself, but the process for signing the CLA is being improved upon.

Canonical announced today that they are working to enhance their Contributor License Agreement process, which has been largely manual over the years. Again, the Canonical CLA itself isn't changing but just working to enhance the process. The new Canonical CLA process will allow for easier agreement sign-up via GitHub via OAuth authentication or via Launchpad with the Ubuntu SSO single sign-on.
