Policy for contributing to FreeIPA (DRAFT)
This is a draft for a contribution policy; it is not policy of the FreeIPA project. This draft has an actual location of User:Quaid/Contribution_policy_(draft).
License-specific version
Any contribution you make to FreeIPA is governed by this contribution policy. You accept this as part of the act of making a contribution. A contribution includes but is not restricted to code, documentation, other written content, design, translations, testing, and bug reporting.
In making this contribution, you are asserting that you have the right to make the contribution. For example, the contribution is entirely your own work and either (a) your employer or some other entity does not have rights in such work, or (b) such entity has authorized you to make the contribution on its behalf.
You irrevocably agree to release your contribution under a specific free software or free culture license:
- GNU Public License (GPL) v2 for software code.
- Creative Commons Attribution/Share alike (BY SA) Unported 3.0 for content and media.
As a contributor, you agree to be attributed for your work in a manner consistent with the infrastructure of the FreeIPA project, such as attribution in a commit log or wiki page history, and any attributions in derivative works.
