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

|
|
|
Contributions of code put into the public domain can also be
|
|
accepted.
|
|
|
|
Contributions using other licenses might be accepted, but further
|
|
review will be required.
