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