Hey guys,

i’ve some questions/remarks concerning the contributors license agreement (CLA) one has to sign in order to participate in the farmbot project.

1.) The CLA located [here](https://farmbot.io/cla/) refers just to the _farmbot-web-app_ project. So, do i’ve to sign a CLA for each farmbot related project (mq broker, webapp, os, …)?  
2.) There is a second github account called [Farmbot-Labs](https://github.com/FarmBot-Labs), as far as i can see it is currently not part of the CLA. But imho it should be 🙂  
3.) The LICENSE file is missing in the [MQTT gateway](https://github.com/FarmBot/mqtt-gateway) project (and in some of the farmbotlabs projects too).

Could you please give me a short feedback on these points, i’ll ask my employer for approval to sign the CLA (or a modified version) afterwards. 😉

Thx in advance!

Chris

Hey @livingst0n, thanks for bringing this up 🙂

1. I’ve updated the [CLA page](http://farmbot.io/cla/) on our website to cover the active repositories we have at [github.com/FarmBot](https://github.com/FarmBot). Because GitHub automatically checks for signatures on a per-repo basis, you will need to sign the CLA for each repo you want to contribute to.
2. Repositories in FarmBot-Labs are not for public consumption. Any code in there is experimental stuff from our core team at FarmBot Inc and we’re not anticipating any contributions there. Once a repo in there is ready for public consumption and contribution, we will move it to the main GitHub organization.
3. I’ve submitted pull requests with [CONTRIBUTING.md](http://CONTRIBUTING.md) and [LICENSE.md](http://LICENSE.md) files to all of the repos that were missing them. They should be merged in by tomorrow morning.
