Canonical's contributor agreement
Canonical Contributor License Agreement
For certain free software projects managed by Canonical, we ask contributors to send us a contributor licence agreement form by email. This agreement establishes a relationship between us and the contributor, gives details on what it means when the contributor grants permission for their work to be included in a project, and enables us to be better stewards of these projects.
With the contributor agreement chosen by Canonical, the Harmony CLA, the contributor gives Canonical a licence to use their contributions. The contributor continues to own the copyright in the contribution, with full rights to re-use, re-distribute, and continue modifying the contributed code, allowing them to also share that contribution with other projects.
We've tried to keep the agreement as simple and comprehensible as possible. It comes in two flavors, one for individual contributors and one for entities (companies, foundations, or other organizations).
If you are making a contribution that is not your work (for example, a patch or library written by someone else), please contact the coordinator listed below for guidance on whether any additional steps are needed.
How to submit:
The Canonical Copyright Licence Agreement should be signed online; please fill in your name and contact information on the agreement form.
Thank you. If you have any questions, please send them to the appropriate coordinator below, but check the Frequently Asked Questions first.
