Contributions are now accepted under the Apache License 2.0, whose section 5 already licenses submitted contributions on the same terms. CONTRIBUTING.md no longer asks contributors to sign a CLA through cla-assistant.io.

The license/cla required status check has already been removed from the branch protection on main.

P2 Badge Point the section 5 reference at the full license

The linked LICENSE.txt contains only the short Apache notice and has no numbered sections, so contributors cannot find the cited section 5 at this destination. Link to the full Apache 2.0 text (or add that text to the repository) so the new licensing requirement is verifiable from the contribution instructions.
