I think the consensus is that an electronic way to send the CA is just the right amount of effort required. You stil have to take the time to fill out a legally binding agreement but it also doesn't rule out those for whom snail mail is just too unpractical because they live outside the US or

While I don't mind sending a document via mail, but saying, Pay 50$ (Approx 2500 Indian Rupees) for Hi, I want to help organize the library documentation for clojure sounds unreasonable to me. This maybe valid for US citizens, But you can't ask people who don't stay in US for such a procedure.
