  • If you work for a company that wants also to allow you to contribute your work, your company needs to provide a Corporate CLA (https://cla.st.com) mentioning your GitHub account name
  • If you’re not sure that a CLA (Individual or Corporate) has been signed for your GitHub account you can check here (https://cla.st.com). Please note that Corporate CLA will always take precedence over Individual CLA
