             Summary: Why both Individual CLA and Corporate CLA?
                 Key: LEGAL-315
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL-315
             Project: Legal Discuss
          Issue Type: Question
            Reporter: Patrick Hew


My employer is looking at how we can contribute to Apache software.

Our lawyer has assessed the Corporate CLA and Individual CLA (https://www.apache.org/licenses/#clas). She has provisionally assessed the Corporate CLA as acceptable to our organisation, but raised a flag about the requirement that employees must also sign an Individual CLA.  Indeed, I note that the Corporate CLA asks for designated employees to be listed.

1. Can the ASF change its position on requiring Individual CLAs from employees in addition to Corporate CLAs, for contributions that are owned by the organisation?

2. Otherwise I _think_ that we might be happier if the employee could sign the Individual CLA as (for example) 'Jane Pearson as employee of <organisation>' (or possibly 'Jane Pearson for <organisation>'.  How does this sound?


Many thanks,
- Patrick.
