Rationale
Reference the upcoming new SciTools Contributor Licence Agreement (v5), which is being implemented to comply with legal advice from the UK Met Office - see #1919 (comment) .
I have chosen to no longer link to scitools.org.uk, since the new CLA is designed to be 'self-describing' without needing other exposition, hence the new Summary section at the top.
This is has been set up - via CLA Assistant - in most SciTools repositories on
2023-12-22. Cartopy has been exempted to allow time for people to see and discuss. We could add further documentation, and even altering the CLA's summary text would be OK at this point because very few people would need to re-sign.Implications
All pull request authors will be automatically asked to sign the CLA as part of the continuous integration checks. An example of such a check is here: SciTools/iris-esmf-regrid#239 (comment) .
The intention is to apply a branch protection rule that prevents merges to
mainunless all commit authors have signed the CLA, achieved by checking for a ✔ from this CI check.
