The new CLA may incorrectly restrict project modifications and does not define how individual or company contributors are formally recorded and accepted. Clarify these terms before merging to avoid invalid contribution attestations or incomplete agreement records.

Poem

A rabbit signs beneath the moon,
Grants clear rights in a careful tune.
Patents hop and clauses bind,
Third-party notes stay close behind.
Berlin laws guard the trail,
While every contribution leaves a tale.

4.5 The Contributor represents that their Contribution does not include any work distributed under a copyleft license.

## 5 Information obligation
Contributor agrees to notify NetBird of any facts or circumstances of which Contributor become aware that would make these representations inaccurate in any respect.

## 6 Submission of Third-Party works
Should Contributor wish to submit work that is not Contributor’s original creation, Contributor may submit it to NetBird separately from any Contribution, identifying the complete details of its source and of any license or other restriction (including, but not limited to, related patents, trademarks, and license agreements) of which Contributor are personally aware, and conspicuously marking the work as "Submitted on behalf of a third-party: [named here]".

Limit the copyleft restriction to third-party material.

LICENSE identifies the project as GPLv3, and Section 2.2 includes modifications to existing Work. Section 4.5 can therefore block normal project modifications or require an inaccurate representation. Limit the clause to unapproved third-party copyleft material, and define the approval path in Section 6.

Proposed wording
- The Contributor represents that their Contribution does not include any work distributed under a copyleft license.
+ The Contributor represents that their Contribution does not knowingly include third-party work distributed under a copyleft license unless it is disclosed under Section 6 and approved by NetBird.
