We'd love to accept your patches! Please read this guide first. | ||

||
## Identity Disclosure | ||
|
||
This project does not accept anonymous contributions. Justine Tunney | ||
won't merge pull requests from strangers. In order to change the Cosmo | ||
codebase, and have your changes be upstreamed, she has to know who you | ||
are. You're encouraged to disclose your full name and email address to | ||
the public too, by including them in your git commit messages; however | ||
that's not a requirement; as we're happy to respect the wishes of | ||
contributors who prefer to remain anonymous to the public. | ||
|
||
## Copyright Assignment | ||
|
||
Please send an email to Justine Tunney <[email protected]> stating that | ||
you intend to assign her the copyright to the changes you contribute to | ||
Cosmopolitan. Please use the same email address you use for git commits | ||
which should only contain original source code from you or other people | ||
who are also assigning copyright. Please note that, if you're employed, | ||
you may need to get your employer's approval beforehand. If you can not | ||
assign copyright due to local laws, then you may alternatively consider | ||
disclaiming it using the language in [Unlicense](https://unlicense.org) | ||
or [CC-0](http://creativecommons.org/share-your-work/public-domain/cc0) | ||
|
||
This is important because we can't produce 12kb single-file executables | ||
that comply with license requirements if we have to embed lots of them. | ||
Although that's less of an issue depending on the purpose of the files. | ||
For example, ownership is much less of a concern in the unit test files | ||
so you're encouraged to put your copyright on those, provided it's ISC. | ||
The first time you send a pull request, you need to send an email to | ||
Justine Tunney <[email protected]> stating that you intend to assign her | ||
the copyright to the changes you contribute to Cosmopolitan. This only | ||
applies to the code you *choose* to contribute. It only has to happen | ||
once. The email should be sent from an email address associated with | ||
your identity. Your email should link to your pull request. | ||
|
||
Please note that in order to give Justine the copyright, it has to be | ||
yours to give in the first place. If you're employed, then you should | ||
get your employer's approval to do this beforehand. Even with big | ||
companies like Google, this process is quick and painless. Usually we | ||
see employers granting authorization in less than one day. | ||
|
||
If you live in a country that doesn't recognize one's ability to assign | ||
copyright, then you may alternatively consider disclaiming it using the | ||
language in [Unlicense](https://unlicense.org) or | ||
[CC-0](http://creativecommons.org/share-your-work/public-domain/cc0). | ||
|
||
If you're checking-in third party code, then you need to have headers at | ||
the top of each source file (but never header files) documenting its | ||
owners and the code should go in the `third_party/` folder. | ||
