In this episode, Gil Yehuda, Sr. Director of Open Source, interviews Michael Martin, Associate General Counsel and Head of Patents at Verizon Media. Mike shares why Contributor License Agreements (also known as CLAs) came to be and some of the reasons they don’t work as well as we’d hope.

Without it, we're not going to be able to build these incredibly complex things that require us to work together. Do CLAs do that? Listen and find out.
