OpenSign

Unknown if it's better or worse but https://support.google.com/docs/answer/12315692?hl=en ("Send signature requests & sign documents with eSignature") and there have also been a bunch of alleged competitors submitted: https://github.com/docusealco/docuseal#readme https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36798593 https://github.com/OpenSignLabs/OpenSign#readme https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38052344 https://github.com/documenso/documenso#readme https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38404129 but they're all AGPLv3 and the network effect is very real

I don't see that they have a CLA -- I can only find their note about the license contributors must take[0]. I guess that's one way around the CLA -- they don't need one if they force all contributions to be MIT in a file most people wouldn't read. In the end people the actual likelihood of someone making a credible legal threat is low so it all seems somewhat spurious but great way to go around the overt beacon that requiring CLA signing is.

I went to the installation instructions: https://github.com/OpenSignLabs/OpenSign/blob/main/INSTALLAT... And it says you can auto-deploy to DigitalOcean (neat) and to a local server, and instructions are included for both. There's the bit on AWS S3 which makes sense but then no build/install instructions for local deployment. are those somewhere else?
