# @(#)CONTRIBUTING 1.3 06/05/30 Copyright 2006 J. Schilling
If you like to send patches or code to add to the project, you are welcome.
Before you send code or patches, please make sure that the following
requirements apply to your code:
1 Your code does not duplicate existing functionality
2 Integrating your code does not take more time than it would
take to write it from scratch
3 Your code is cleanly written, is byteorder independent and
does compile on all supported platforms
4 Your code does not cause this project to break or otherwise
fail on one of the supported platforms
5 Your code does not rely on a specific compiler
6 Your code is cleanly indented (matches the coding style
from "Cstyle"). See files:
ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/cdrecord/Cstyle
and
ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/cdrecord/cstyle
7 You allow me to publish the code under any OSI approved
license (see http://www.opensource.org/). If you like to
see your code under a specific license and this license
grants less freedom than the CDDL, there is little chance
to integrate your code.
8 Include not only the code patches but also include the related
extensions to the man pages.
9 If you like to make a bigger contribution, provide white papers
and other documentation that allows to understand your patch
within a reasonable amount of time.
Pleae note for 7: Licenses may not last forever and it may sometimes
be apropriate to change the license. In case that contributors did
insist in a specific license when contributing and are no longer
reachable via mail, this undertaking may be impossible and kill the
future of the project. So please help with your contributing to ensure
the future of this project.
