Contributor License Agreement¶
The CLA full text is here https://gist.github.com/JakeGWater/80087b416dcf23f07f98ddf73fd47301
tl;dr¶
You will be asked to sign the CLA via GitHub when submitting a pull-request.
The CLA need only be signed once, which covers all future contributions.
The CLA allows us to modify our license without needing to get signoff from every contributor. Locking into a license this early might prove frustrating later on. We want to be flexible.
You still own your contributions, and can do whatever you like with them. The combined works is governed by our License.
Embedded and linked content is not part of the CLA. For example, if you embed a slide presentation that content is not covered by the CLA. Only content committed to the repository is covered.
