+Contributor License Agreements
+==============================
+
+Collections MUST NOT require community contributors to sign any type of
+contributor license agreement (CLA) other than the
+`Developer Certificate of Origin <https://developercertificate.org/>`_
+or similar agreements that only require confirming the provenance of contributions.
+This requirement seeks to preserve the community's ownership over its contributions,
+prevent unwelcome licensing changes that can occur when one entity
+owns the copyrights for an entire project,
+and lower barriers to contribution.
