Corporate Contributor Licence Agreements (CCLA)
Employees
Many standard employee agreements include clauses that give an employe ownership of any work created by their employees regardless of whether it is done during company time or not. If you want to contribute to OFBiz but you have this type of agreement with your employer then you must get an authorised person from your company to complete a "Corporate Contributor Licence Agreeement (CCLA).

IMPORTANT NOTE: A Corporate CLA does not remove the need for every Apache project contributor to sign their own Individual Contributor Licence Agreement (ICLA) to cover any of their contributions which are not owned by the employer signing the CCLA. |
Employers
If your company has any employees that are contrbuting work to Apache projects (e.g. code, documenation, etc) as part of their employment then it is important that you complete a '"Corporate Contributor Licence Agreement' " (CCLA).Many standard employee agreements include clauses that give an employer ownership of any work created by their employees. By completing the CCLA the employer is you are waiving any ownership rights of the work their your employees contribute to Apache. This is extremely important as it removes any legal doubt and allows Apache to include these contributions under their licence.IMPORTANT NOTE: A Corporate CLA does not remove the need for every developer to sign their own ICLA as an individual, to cover any of their contributions which are not owned by the corporation signing the CCLA
