Add contributor license agreement. (#1556) This PR adds a contributor license agreement (CLA) to the project. Contributors will need to sign the CLA before we merge their PRs. This will be handled automatically via a bot here on GitHub. ## Context Did you know tldraw is a [venture backed](https://tldraw.substack.com/p/tiny-little-seed-round) company? Our CLA is designed to protect our options for any future re-licensing of the project's code or transferring ownership, which can become complicated when taking public contributions community, but which can become necessary by fate and/or go to market strategies. A CLA adds a bit of friction and hassle for contributors, however I'd prefer to be upfront about our relationship rather than doing what many open source projects have done in the past, which is relicensing code contributed without such prior agreement. If you have any questions, feel free to post them below. ### Change Type - [x] `internal` — Any other changes that don't affect the published package (will not publish a new version) 2023-06-08 12:45:44 +00:00			`Interested in contributing to the open source project?`
