Sorry for the intrusion, but my employer (NASA) is requesting that all external contributors to my open source projects sign a contributors license agreement. There are two flavors - individual or corporate, depending on whether your contributions are a hobby or part of your day job.

Please download the appropriate CLA at https://github.com/Goddard-Fortran-Ecosystem/cla/tree/main/pFUnit and follow the instructions there.

Thank you in advance. @halvorlu @MatthewHambley @ZedThree @plevold @elezar @MehdiChinoune @quantheory @sethrj @danielhollas @cferenba @kurtsansom @zbeekman @jgoppert

Adding @rouson - contribute to yaFyaml under this same CLA.

@tclune thanks for tagging me, happy to be a (very little) contributor. :-)

Just want to double check: do we really need to send the signed CLA in paper form? That seems a bit punishing for somebody from Europe who literally just deleted two commented lines and reworded the README a bit. (see #238).

But I also understand that you don't make the rules so happy to do it, LMK. :-)

@danielhollas I'm not 100% certain, but I think the lawyer mentioned some brief apology that a physical signature is required.

The email went out to everyone that had a commit in the git record, I think you are correct that signing the CLA for your contribution is probably not quite the scenario that was envisioned. Feel free to skip. (I also did not try to track down 4 contributors that apparently added content back when pFUnit was hosted on sourceforge.)

Cheers.

I’m in something of a similar situation to @danielhollas. I’ve added no new code, I just made minor changes to existing lines to fix bugs. Does that level of change require a CLA?

@cfenerenba - Yes. It does not make sense for you to spend the effort. The real concern is going forward, as I've already accepted code from people without signed CLAs. I do need people that made substantive changes in the past to sign for indirect reasons due to reporting technology improvements.

Hi @tclune , since I made my (pretty minor, infrastructure-only) contribution through my official ORNL duties, I spoke to our lab's IP law group, which declines to sign the contract. Please contact me at [email protected] if you'd like to continue this discussion offline. Sorry for the continuation of what I'm sure is already a headache for you!

I think my contribution is also very minor, if you really need a signature, let me know.

@tclune I definitely signed and sent a CLA. I signed and sent another one just now.

OK - I've let the lawyer know that something appears to have been fumbled in this case. Hopefully they can find the problem in their process and/or the 2nd attempt works.

Sigh.

@tclune I used the email address listed in the CLA pdf. Is there another address to try?

No - the address in the CLA is the right one. And as the lawyer had seen some from one of my other projects, I went to double check that all the CLAs have the same address, and they do. My guess is that there the submission is not fully automated and a human accidentally put your form into a different project in the data base. Or someone is on vacation and they are more behind than the lawyer indicated.

@kurtsansom I got a message back from the lawyer. Apparently you filled out the individual CLA but listed a company as your employer. You'll need to choose one role or the other for this. (Unless you are the president of said company, but even then the easier path is to go the less ambiguous route.

Sigh... I will see what I can do.

@tclune I heard from the person here that they completed the CLA over a week ago. any updates on your end?

You are all set. See CONTRIBUTERS.md
