…undation#12863) Issue EbookFoundation#12863 reports that the Contributor License Agreement is rendered within docs/CONTRIBUTING along with unrelated content, making it hard to read in isolation. The repository did not previously expose a dedicated CLA page. Add docs/CONTRIBUTOR_LICENSE_AGREEMENT.md containing only the CLA text (rights, representations, license grant), include it in _config.yml, and link to it from the CLA section of CONTRIBUTING. Users who want to read only the CLA now have a clean, focused page.
Jekyll processes docs/ by default; the include list only matters for root-level files that would otherwise be excluded. Drops the extra artifact that was flaking the check-urls workflow.

Improve repo / Add standalone documentation page
Description
Refs #12863.
The reporter of #12863 expected a Contributor License Agreement page that displays only its own content. In the current repo, the CLA is a short section inside
docs/CONTRIBUTING.md, so users who follow a CLA link land on the larger Contributing page and see unrelated content above it — which is what prompted the confusion in #12863.This PR adds a dedicated CLA page so anyone can read the agreement in isolation:
docs/CONTRIBUTOR_LICENSE_AGREEMENT.md— Jekyll frontmatter + only CLA text (rights, representations, license grant).docs/CONTRIBUTING.md— the existing CLA section now links to the new page for the full text._config.yml— addCONTRIBUTOR_LICENSE_AGREEMENT.mdto the included files list so Jekyll builds it.No existing content is removed; the change is purely additive.
Why is this valuable?
Gives the CLA a clean, focused URL (
docs/CONTRIBUTOR_LICENSE_AGREEMENT) without surrounding contributor-workflow material, addressing the core concern in #12863 ("The Contributor License Agreement page should display only its own content").Checklist:
