  1. OpenSign

    🔥 The free & Open Source DocuSign alternative

    I don't see that they have a CLA -- I can only find their note about the license contributors must take[0].

    I guess that's one way around the CLA -- they don't need one if they force all contributions to be MIT in a file most people wouldn't read.

    In the end people the actual likelihood of someone making a credible legal threat is low so it all seems somewhat spurious but great way to go around the overt beacon that requiring CLA signing is.

  3. documenso

    The Open Source DocuSign Alternative.

    I heard of this a while ago too - https://github.com/documenso/documenso

  4. S3 Server

    Zenko CloudServer, an open-source Node.js implementation of the Amazon S3 protocol on the front-end and backend storage capabilities to multiple clouds, including Azure and Google.

    > Theoretically they could swap with minio but last time we used it it was not a drop-in replacement yet.

    Depends on whether AGPL v3 works for you or not (or whether you decide to pay them), I guess: https://min.io/pricing

    I've actually been looking for more open alternatives, but haven't found much.

    Zenko CloudServer seemed to be somewhat promising, but doesn't seem to be managed very actively: https://github.com/scality/cloudserver/issues/4986 (their Docker images on DockerHub were last updated 10 months ago, which is what the homepage links to; blog doesn't seem active since 2019, forums don't have much going on, despite some action on GitHub still)

    There was also Garage, but that one is also AGPL v3: https://garagehq.deuxfleurs.fr/

    The closest I got was discovering that SeaweedFS has an S3 compatible mode: https://github.com/seaweedfs/seaweedfs

  5. garage

    (Mirror) S3-compatible object store for small self-hosted geo-distributed deployments. Main repo: https://git.deuxfleurs.fr/Deuxfleurs/garage

  6. seaweedfs

    SeaweedFS is a distributed storage system for object storage (S3), file systems, and Iceberg tables, designed to handle billions of files with O(1) disk access and effortless horizontal scaling.
