It was done with Adobe Sign, basically it displayed a PDF to me in my browser and I could sign by writing on my keyboard (displayed using a "hand-written" font), draw with my mouse, or import an image of my signature (or even use my mobile device). I don't think we need that much options (just type on keyboard), but surely something similar is doable using only GNU tools no? If you can reduce the "print - sign - scan - email" cycle to "browse online and click" I suspect a lot more people would agree to bother with the copyright assignments. Kind regards, Philippe
