-
-## Contributor License Agreements
-
-We'd love to accept your sample apps and patches! Before we can take them, we
-have to jump a couple of legal hurdles.
-
-Please fill out either the individual or corporate Contributor License Agreement
-(CLA).
-
-  * If you are an individual writing original source code and you're sure you
-    own the intellectual property, then you'll need to sign an [individual CLA]
-    (https://developers.google.com/open-source/cla/individual).
-  * If you work for a company that wants to allow you to contribute your work,
-    then you'll need to sign a [corporate CLA]
-    (https://developers.google.com/open-source/cla/corporate).
-
-Follow either of the two links above to access the appropriate CLA and
-instructions for how to sign and return it. Once we receive it, we'll be able to
-accept your pull requests.
