Description

ally.js is being published under MIT license for the time being. Should the project ever achieve its goals (i.e. move into a FOSS foundation), it is likely that the license has to be changed a bit.

I wonder if it's wise to begin collecting signatures for a CLA (Contributor License Agreement) right away, rather than having to hunt them down later.

I also wonder if it is sufficient to make authors agree to the CLA (e.g. jQuery CLA) via a comment in the PR.

Research direction

The issue body is the only entry point provided and frames an unresolved question about adopting a Contributor License Agreement. Start by reviewing the proposed jQuery CLA process and the project's future licensing plans, then define the agreement and contribution workflow that would count as done.
