However, CLAs have been the subject of some controversy and criticism within the open-source community. Some argue that CLAs create an unnecessary barrier to entry for contributors, particularly for casual or first-time contributors who may be put off by the need to sign a legal document. Others have raised concerns about the asymmetry of power CLAs can create between project maintainers and contributors, as well as potential compatibility issues with certain open-source licenses.

::::

As an alternative to a CLA, some projects use a [Developer Certificate of Origin (DCO)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Developer_Certificate_of_Origin#cite_note-auto-1) to ensure that contributors have the necessary rights to make their contributions. A DCO is a lightweight mechanism that requires contributors to certify that they have the right to submit their code under the project's open-source license. This can be done through a simple sign-off process in the commit message or pull request, rather than requiring a separate legal document.
