3 | ### Before you contribute |
||
4 | Before we can use your code, you must sign the |
||
5 | [Google Individual Contributor License Agreement](https://developers.google.com/open-source/cla/individual?csw=1) |
||
6 | (CLA), which you can do online. The CLA is necessary mainly because you own the |
||
7 | copyright to your changes, even after your contribution becomes part of our |
||
8 | codebase, so we need your permission to use and distribute your code. We also |
||
9 | need to be sure of various other things—for instance that you'll tell us if you |
||
10 | know that your code infringes on other people's patents. You don't have to sign |
||
11 | the CLA until after you've submitted your code for review and a member has |
||
12 | approved it, but you must do it before we can put your code into our codebase. |
||
13 | Before you start working on a larger contribution, you should get in touch with |
||
14 | us first through the issue tracker with your idea so that we can help out and |
||
15 | possibly guide you. Coordinating up front makes it much easier to avoid |
||
16 | frustration later on. |
||
17 | |||
18 | ### Code reviews |
||
19 | All submissions, including submissions by project members, require review. We |
||
20 | use GitHub pull requests for this purpose. |
||
21 | |||
22 | ### The small print |
||
23 | Contributions made by corporations are covered by a different agreement than |
||
24 | the one above, the Software Grant and Corporate Contributor License Agreement. |
