|
* <h2>Contributions and Copyright Assignment</h2>
|
|
* If you plan to contribute code to the ChibiOS/RT project then there is a
|
|
* requirement you should be aware of: contributing code for inclusion in
|
|
* the ChibiOS/RT <b>main line</b> requires assigning the copyright on the
|
|
* contributed code to me (Giovanni Di Sirio).<br>
|
|
* This may sound a bit strange but is pretty standard for this kind of
|
|
* projects, there are several reasons for this requirement:
|
|
* - ChibiOS/RT will probably also become a commercial product and it would
|
|
* not be possible to re-license the code without ownership. Note that the
|
|
* commercial product would not be a different or better product, just the
|
|
* same GPL product made available, on request, under a different license.
|
|
* The code will always be available to you under the current licensing
|
|
* terms.
|
|
* - Ownership is required when changing the licensing terms and this happens
|
|
* each time the project goes from development/unstable to stable and
|
|
* back because the addition/removal of the GPL linking exception.
|
|
* - It will be easier for the project adopters to have a single ownership
|
|
* point in case of licensing issues (both GPL or commercial).
|
|
* - Losing the ownership on the code could preclude me the opportunity to
|
|
* make this project a full time job as I hope.
|
|
* - I definitely don't want to have to sort out copyright related issues
|
|
* in the future so better be clear than sorry.
|
|
* .
|
|
* Note that contributions will always be welcome even without such copyright
|
|
* assignment, the difference is that the contributed code would not be
|
|
* merged into the main line, it will still made available as contributed
|
|
* code with the contributor(s) copyright notice intact.<br>
|
|
* Submissions of code with copyright notice should only happen through
|
|
* email, please do not commit code with copyright notices directly on
|
|
* the repository.<br>
|
|
* When submitting code please <b>state clearly your intention to keep the
|
|
* copyright</b> on your work by adding your own copyright notice within the
|
|
* source code and by clearly mentioning your intentions in the message. Code
|
|
* contributed without copyright notice will be considered donated.<br>
|
|
* If in doubt with licensing issues please don't hesitate to contact me
|
|
* in order to sort out any problem you may have.<br>
|
|
* Of course the copyright assignment does not mean you would not be
|
|
* recognized for your hard work, see the following section.
|
|
*
