Late to the party here, but I deal in this space all day. You are 100% correct.

Disputes over eSignatures come up allllll the time. And if you mention that it was "DocuSigned"... although you have done nothing aside from name-dropping... it will essentially end the dispute. Not saying that it should. Just saying that it does.

Hopefully people will say “OpenSigned” one day and it will have the same impact.

I think that could totally be possible for your hosted offering, but my point is largely that I don’t see how the self-hosted offering could ever get there, unless there was some technical measure that could prevent the operator of the system from tampering with the logs/database/etc

Edited to add: mild disclosure, I’m working on a product that has e-sign as a feature. It’s not really the main thrust of the application, but probably worth mentioning here.
