 - **Assume good intent.** Written communication is hard - err on the side of generosity.
 - **Teach & learn.** If you spot something confusing, open an issue or PR with improvements.
 
-### Contributor license agreement (CLA)
-
-All contributors **must** accept the CLA. The process is lightweight:
-
-1. Open your pull request.
-2. Paste the following comment (or reply `recheck` if you've signed before):
-
-   ```text
-   I have read the CLA Document and I hereby sign the CLA
-   ```
-
-3. The CLA-Assistant bot records your signature in the repo and marks the status check as passed.
-
-No special Git commands, email attachments, or commit footers required.
