  90     To make a contribution to a TianoCore project, follow these steps.
  91     1. Create a change description in the format specified below to
  92        use in the source control commit log.
  93     2. Your commit message must include your "Signed-off-by" signature,
  94        and "Contributed-under" message.
  95     3. Your "Contributed-under" message explicitly states that the
  96        contribution is made under the terms of the specified
  97        contribution agreement.  Your "Contributed-under" message
  98        must include the name of contribution agreement and version.
  99        For example: Contributed-under: TianoCore Contribution Agreement 1.1
 100        The "TianoCore Contribution Agreement" is included below in
 101        this document.
 102     4. Submit your code to the TianoCore project using the process
 103        that the project documents on its web page.  If the process is
 104        not documented, then submit the code on development email list
 105        for the project.
 106     5. It is preferred that contributions are submitted using the same
 107        copyright license as the base project. When that is not possible,
 108        then contributions using the following licenses can be accepted:
 109        * BSD (2-clause): http://opensource.org/licenses/BSD-2-Clause
 110        * BSD (3-clause): http://opensource.org/licenses/BSD-3-Clause
 111        * MIT: http://opensource.org/licenses/MIT
 112        * Python-2.0: http://opensource.org/licenses/Python-2.0
 113        * Zlib: http://opensource.org/licenses/Zlib

 116        * FreeBSD Documentation License
 117          https://www.freebsd.org/copyright/freebsd-doc-license.html
 118
 119        Contributions of code put into the public domain can also be
 120        accepted.
 121
 122        Contributions using other licenses might be accepted, but further
 123        review will be required.

 128
 129     Your change description should use the standard format for a
 130     commit message, and must include your "Signed-off-by" signature
 131     and the "Contributed-under" message.

 154
 155     * The first line of commit message is taken from the email's subject
 156       line following [Repository/Branch PATCH]. The remaining portion of the
 157       commit message is the email's content until the '---' line.
 158     * git format-patch is one way to create this format
 159
 160     === Definitions for sample patch email ===
 161
 162     * "Repository" is the identifier of the repository the patch applies.
 163       This identifier should only be provided for repositories other than
 164       'edk2'. For example 'edk2-BuildSpecification' or 'staging'.
 165     * "Branch" is the identifier of the branch the patch applies. This
 166       identifier should only be provided for branches other than 'edk2/master'.

 168       'staging/edk2-test'.
 169     * "Module" is a short identifier for the affected code or documentation. For
 170       example 'MdePkg', 'MdeModulePkg/UsbBusDxe', 'Introduction', or
 171       'EDK II INF File Format'.
 172     * "Brief-single-line-summary" is a short summary of the change.
 173     * The entire first line should be less than ~70 characters.
 174     * "Full-commit-message" a verbose multiple line comment describing
 175       the change.  Each line should be less than ~70 characters.
 176     * "Contributed-under" explicitly states that the contribution is

 178       agreement is included below in this document.
 179     * "Signed-off-by" is the contributor's signature identifying them
 180       by their real/legal name and their email address.
