The company I work for does open source development. And our lawyers said
that our model of having contributors send an e-mail with the text "I agree"
and our CLA as an attachment was perfectly valid, no hand written signature
needed. From there the step to a click through for something as simple as a
patch isn't too far. But I would not claim that I know any of these things,
I'm just hoping that we can have a simple process with no legal gray areas.

That would be good.
