-	===== Why is WinSCP requiring Contributor License Agreements? =====	+	===== Why is WinSCP2 requiring Contributor License Agreements? =====

	The main reason for requiring CLAs is to provide proper legal protection to the contributors and the users. CLAs protect contributors by explicitly making it clear what the terms and conditions are for properly contributing to a project, thereby avoiding any confusion or misunderstandings between the contributor, the project, and the community. CLAs protect WinSCP users by ensuring that the contributions that make up the project are legitimately and appropriate licensed all the way from the contributor to the user. Furthermore, CLAs give WinSCP better legal standing to defend against violations of the project license, providing protection for both contributors and users.
