Hi Tácio,

As Daniel has pointed out - don't worry about the CLA(s). I believe this
was only required in the past because Guacamole was MIT licensed, but now
that things are under the Apache license[1], contributions are covered.

As long as you make your changes against the latest code on
incubator-guacamole-client (which is Apache licensed), I believe all should
be fine.

Ignore the parts of our documentation which say otherwise - they are wrong
and need to be brought up to date.

Thanks,
