Re: [opensource-dev] Draft update to the Contribution Agreement

It is customary to include addresses of the parties on contracts in the USA. With only a name and signature, I could always claim it was some other Jason Giglio that agreed to the contract. There aren't many ways to enter a binding contract without risking "outing", since for it to stand up in
