The CLA does **not** +transfer copyright — you keep full ownership of your work. It simply +grants the TrustGraph project a perpetual, royalty-free licence to +distribute your contribution under the project's +[Apache 2.0 licence](https://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0), and +confirms that you have the right to make the contribution. This +protects both the project and its users by ensuring every contribution +has a clear legal footing. + +When you open your first pull request, the +[CLA Assistant](https://cla-assistant.io/trustgraph-ai/trustgraph) bot +will post a comment asking you to review and sign the agreement — +it only takes a moment and you only need to do it once.
