# Contributing
|
||||
|
||||
## Contributor's Agreement
|
||||
|
||||
You are under no obligation whatsoever to provide any bug fixes, patches, or
|
||||
upgrades to the features, functionality or performance of the source code
|
||||
("Enhancements") to anyone; however, if you choose to make your Enhancements
|
||||
available either publicly, or directly to the project, without imposing a
|
||||
separate written license agreement for such Enhancements, then you hereby grant
|
||||
the following license: a non-exclusive, royalty-free perpetual license to
|
||||
install, use, modify, prepare derivative works, incorporate into other computer
|
||||
software, distribute, and sublicense such enhancements or derivative works
|
||||
thereof, in binary and source code form.
|
||||
|
||||
## Getting Started
|
||||
|
||||
When contributing to Warewulf, it is important to properly communicate the gist
|
||||
of the contribution. If it is a simple code or editorial fix, simply explaining
|
||||
this within the GitHub Pull Request (PR) will suffice. But if this is a larger
|
||||
fix or Enhancement, you are advised to first discuss the change with the
|
||||
project leader or developers.
|
||||
|
||||
All commits must be "Signed-off" by using `git commit -s`, acknowledging that
|
||||
you agree to the [Developer Certificate of Origin](DCO.txt).
