The Buildable Stick System is made available under the GPLv3 (or later) license. Contributions are welcome via pull requests. This document outlines the process to get your contribution accepted.
I do not request the copyright of contributions be assigned to me or to the project, and I require no provision that I be allowed to relicense your contributions. My personal oath is to maintain inbound=outbound in my open source projects, and the expectation is authors are responsible for their contributions.
I am following the the Developer Certificate of Origin (DCO), also available at
DCO.txt
. The DCO is a way for contributors to certify that they wrote or otherwise have the right to license their
code contributions to the project. Contributors must sign-off that they adhere to these requirements by adding a
Signed-off-by
line to their commit message, and/or, for frequent contributors, by signing off on their entry in
MAINTAINERS.md
.
This process is followed by a number of open source projects, most notably the Linux kernel. Here's the gist of it:
[Your normal Git commit message here.]
Signed-off-by: Random J Developer <[email protected]>
git help commit
has more info on adding this:
-s, --signoff
Add Signed-off-by line by the committer at the end of the commit log
message. The meaning of a signoff depends on the project, but it typically
certifies that committer has the rights to submit this work under the same
license and agrees to a Developer Certificate of Origin (see
http://developercertificate.org/ for more information).
