Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 3a6b7

This change adds a contributor license agreement, but it is not connected to contribution acceptance or merge enforcement, so contributors may not actually be covered as intended. The agreement also contains minor grammar issues that should be corrected before publication.

Poem

A rabbit reviewed the license bright,
With clauses lined in orderly light.
Copyright hops, patents follow,
Disclosures keep the path clear and hollow.
German law guards the final page,
And carrots celebrate each legal stage.

Add a repository-owned CLA acceptance and merge gate.

CONTRIBUTOR_LICENSE_AGREEMENT.md has no references elsewhere in the repository. No contribution guide or workflow records acceptance or requires a CLA check. Add these integrations before relying on the agreement’s contributor coverage.

Correct the defined-term grammar before publishing the agreement.

Use singular verbs for Contributor, and hyphenate third-party:

- Contributor represent that he/she has received permission
+ Contributor represents that he/she has received permission

- any third party IP Rights
+ any third-party IP Rights

- Contributor become aware
+ Contributor becomes aware

- Contributor are personally aware
+ Contributor is personally aware
