Good news, the Contributor License Agreement (CLA) is now removed from the fluxer source code! (github.com)

As pointed out by @ProdigalFrog@slrpnk.net's post, the Fluxer app required a CLA in order to receive code contributions. ProdigalFrog's post goes more in-depth to explain why this can be bad for the open source community.

Because of this post, the fluxer developer gave an official response on reddit, stating that the CLA would be removed.

The removal is now in a refactor branch, it should later be added to the main branch of the source code, you can check the commit here.

I'd like to give a special thanks to ProdigalFrog for noticing this issue and informing us about the problems this could cause in the future. Thank you very much, Prodigal!

Quite glad to see it worked to change the dev's mind! But I should say that without @paequ2@lemmy.today's comment mentioning both the CLA and Drew Devault's great article on them, I wouldn't have known to post about it! So massive thanks to them for being the first person to raise the alarm on that ^^

Great news, and very positive response from the dev - especially so quickly. Only makes me even more excited for this project.
