Contributor agreement form

Before you contribute to one of our open source projects, you must complete all the fields in this form, sign it and return it to Canonical.

All fields are required.

Agreement type

I am signing as an individual contributor.

Time to get access: instant

The individual contributor agreement is designed for individuals contributing personally (not on behalf of a company or organization). Individual contributors should use their personal email account. If you choose to sign with a corporate email account, please ensure that you are legally permitted to do so.

I am signing on behalf of an organization, foundation, company or other entity, which may have multiple contributors.

Time to get access: 4-8 weeks

The corporate contributor agreement is designed to accommodate companies that do not permit their employees to sign individual contributor agreements. This procedure requires manual review and manual signatures by both parties via DocuSign. If your employer allows you to sign an individual CLA agreement, we recommend you to use it instead.
