|
|---|
| 91 | 1. Create a change description in the format specified below to
|
|---|
| 92 | use in the source control commit log.
|
|---|
| 93 | 2. Your commit message must include your "Signed-off-by" signature,
|
|---|
| 94 | and "Contributed-under" message.
|
|---|
| 95 | 3. Your "Contributed-under" message explicitly states that the
|
|---|
| 96 | contribution is made under the terms of the specified
|
|---|
| 97 | contribution agreement. Your "Contributed-under" message
|
|---|
| 98 | must include the name of contribution agreement and version.
|
|---|
| 99 | For example: Contributed-under: TianoCore Contribution Agreement 1.1
|
|---|
| 100 | The "TianoCore Contribution Agreement" is included below in
|
|---|
| 101 | this document.
|
|---|
| 102 | 4. Submit your code to the TianoCore project using the process
|
|---|
| 103 | that the project documents on its web page. If the process is
|
|---|
| 104 | not documented, then submit the code on development email list
|
|---|
| 105 | for the project.
|
|---|
| 106 | 5. It is preferred that contributions are submitted using the same
|
|---|
| 107 | copyright license as the base project. When that is not possible,
|
|---|
| 108 | then contributions using the following licenses can be accepted:

| 120 | accepted.

|
|---|
