Electronic document signing is the focus of OpenSign, an open-source project presented as a DocuSign alternative.

About OpenSign
OpenSign is an open-source electronic signature project presented as a free alternative to commercial e-signing platforms such as DocuSign. It covers PDF signing, annotations and a signature pad that accepts hand-drawn, uploaded image, typed and saved signatures, along with multi-signer workflows, templates, a document vault and audit records. A hosted free version is described as allowing unlimited document signing; the code is published on GitHub with installation and usage documentation for those who want to run it themselves.
