Eh sorry, I’m just sad about Rocket Chat.
To be fair, this is an entirely reasonable way to do business, but it's also a bit funny.
Nothing prevents an AGPLv3 fork if OpenSign goes proptrietary in future.
I'd rather this approach than yet another non-standard Amazon-proof licence.
Couldn't they have accomplished that just by asking for GPLv3 instead of AGPLv3? That would let them do so without letting them make the self-hosted version non-free, unlike asking for MIT.

Yes, but this would be true for almost any FOSS license offered and regardless of what they ask of contributors.

I very much agree with this.
For the US one, at least, they give examples of where electronic signatures are pretty common and straightforward, and where you need to be careful.
Software-wise, they have features to help you show evidence of who signed, where, and when in multiple ways. Nothing magical, though.
If there were secret sauce, you would think they’d mention it prominently, but they don’t.
