    Resolution: Not A Problem

>                 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.
