Show HN: OpenSign – The open source alternative to DocuSign

You are incorrect. I'm not familiar with any law that requires Docusign in any jurisdiction in which I practice.

The Federal Esign Act provides: 15 USC 7006(5):

The term “electronic signature” means an electronic sound, symbol, or process, attached to or logically associated with a contract or other record and executed or adopted by a person with the intent to sign the record.

You're misreading OP, they're not saying anything about law requiring Docusign, they're saying that Docusign has invested in meeting the law.

AFAIK, anything that is intended to be a signature, is a signature. This can be a hand-drawn "X", a signed name, a typed name, a fingerprint, a rubber stamp, clicking "I Agree" checkboxes, etc.
