Description

In order to improve the maturity of its intellectual property, the PrestaShop project needs to know well the authors of its code.

The best way is to ask code authors to sign a CLA, or to accept the terms of a DCO. (It means also signing commits, and other stuff like that)

Let's study what is the most appropriate, and list what are advantages and flaws of both. And then take a decision with the community.
