As a private party you're going to be in a worse position to enforce a homebrew license than a contract. Besides, a bad actor who plans on disregarding your CLA isn't going to change their behavior because you picked different magic words with another license.</div><div dir="auto"><div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
