17 we will soon require almost every
18 contributor to have a signed Contributor License Agreement (CLA)
19 on file. We are following the practice of
20 <a href="https://www.apache.org">the Apache Sofware Foundation</a>.
21 You can see their CLA policy
22 <a href="https://www.apache.org/licenses/#clas">here</a>.
23 Or, you can just read the following paragraphs :)
27 OpenSSL desires that all contributors of ideas, code, or
28 documentation complete, sign, and submit (via postal mail, fax
29 or email) an Individual CLA [<a href="openssl_icla.pdf">PDF</a>].
30 The purpose of this agreement is to clearly define
31 the terms under which intellectual property has been contributed
32 to OpenSSL and thereby allow us to defend the project should
33 there be a legal dispute regarding the software at some future
37 The ICLA is not tied to any employer you may have, so we
38 recommend you use a personal email address in the contact
39 details, rather than a work address.
43 For a corporation that has assigned employees to work on OpenSSL,
44 a Corporate CLA [<a href="openssl_ccla.pdf">PDF</a>]
45 is available for contributing intellectual property via
46 the corporation, that may have been assigned as part of an
47 employment agreement. Note that a Corporate CLA does not
48 cover any individual contributions which are not owned by the
49 corporation signing the CCLA.
53 Your Full name will be published unless you provide an alternative
54 Public name. For example if your full name is Andrew Bernard Charles
55 Dickens, but you wish to be known as Andrew Dickens, please enter
56 the latter as your Public name. If you do not wish to have your
57 name listed as a contributor, use <em>Anonymous</em>.
58 We reserve the right to reject rude or obscene nick-names.
59 The email address and other contact details are not published.
