We probably want a CLA.

Examples maybe 1 and 2. There is also 3 with nice Github Autofill.

Comments on that topic?

This should be the question of another issue. Currently Apache seems most feasible.

Which legal entity is then the "The Company" part of the CLA?

That's a very good question. A GbR is probably the most feasible. (Gemeinnütze) Stiftung would feel a little better, but seems to require significant financial capital. The GbR requires naming all associates, which goes against the idea of a flexible legal entity which just manages rights. It's complicated?
