Every non-trival contribution CrypTech should be covered by a signed Contributor License Agreement (CLA). We have modeled our policy on the practice of the OpenSSL Software Foundation. Our policy is:
CrypTech would like all non-trivial contributors of ideas, code, or documentation complete, sign, and submit (via postal mail, fax or email) an Individual Contributor License Agreement (ICLA). The purpose of this agreement is to clearly define the terms under which intellectual property has been contributed to CrypTech and thereby to allow us to defend the project should there be a legal dispute regarding the software at some future time.
Please make sure that the email address matches the one that you use for the “Author” in your git commits. List multiple email addresses if necessary.
For a corporation that has assigned employees to work on CrypTech, a Corporate Contributor License Agreement (CCLA) is available for contributing intellectual property via the corporation, that may have been assigned as part of an employment agreement. Note that a Corporate CLA does not remove the need for every developer to sign their own ICLA as an individual.
If you have not already done so, please complete and sign a printout of the above ICLA (and CCLA if necessary), then scan and email a pdf file of the Agreement(s) to contributors@cryptech.is.
If you prefer snail mail, send an original signed Agreement to the
The Commons Conservancy
Science Park 400
1098 XH Amsterdam
The Netherlands.
Please read the document(s) carefully before signing and keep a copy for your records.
Your Full name will be published unless you provide an alternative Public name. For example if your full name is Andrew Bernard Charles Dickens, but you wish to be known as Andrew Dickens, please enter the latter as your Public name. If you do not wish to have your name listed as a contributor, use Anonymous. We reserve the right to reject rude or obscene nick-names. The email address and other contact details are not published.
