| 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 |
