-* Importantly, before any contribution can be accepted into the
-  Orthanc repositories, its author must sign a :ref:`CLA <cla>`. This
-  allows the University Hospital of Liège, the Osimis company and
-  UCLouvain university to act as the official guardians of the whole
-  Orthanc ecosystem. Another advantage of creating plugins is that
-  signing a CLA is not needed. Make sure to carefully read our
