3 | = Code Contributions =\r | |
4 | ======================\r | |
5 | \r | |
6 | To make a contribution to a TianoCore project, follow these steps.\r | |
7 | 1. Create a change description in the format specified below to\r | |
8 | use in the source control commit log.\r | |
9 | 2. Your commit message must include your "Signed-off-by" signature,\r | |
10 | and "Contributed-under" message.\r | |
11 | 3. Your "Contributed-under" message explicitly states that the\r | |
12 | contribution is made under the terms of the specified\r | |
13 | contribution agreement. Your "Contributed-under" message\r | |
14 | must include the name of contribution agreement and version.\r | |
15 | For example: Contributed-under: TianoCore Contribution Agreement 1.0\r | |
16 | The "TianoCore Contribution Agreement" is included below in\r | |
17 | this document.\r | |
18 | 4. Submit your code to the TianoCore project using the process\r | |
19 | that the project documents on its web page. If the process is\r | |
20 | not documented, then submit the code on development email list\r | |
21 | for the project.\r | |
22 | 5. It is preferred that contributions are submitted using the same\r | |
23 | copyright license as the base project. When that is not possible,\r | |
24 | then contributions using the following licenses can be accepted:\r | |
25 | * BSD (2-clause): http://opensource.org/licenses/BSD-2-Clause\r | |
26 | * BSD (3-clause): http://opensource.org/licenses/BSD-3-Clause\r | |
27 | * MIT: http://opensource.org/licenses/MIT\r | |
28 | * Python-2.0: http://opensource.org/licenses/Python-2.0\r | |
29 | * Zlib: http://opensource.org/licenses/Zlib\r | |
30 | \r | |
31 | Contributions of code put into the public domain can also be\r | |
32 | accepted.\r | |
33 | \r | |
34 | Contributions using other licenses might be accepted, but further\r | |
35 | review will be required.\r | |
