Contributions to hostap.git
|
||||
---------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
This software is distributed under a permissive open source license to
|
||||
allow it to be used in any projects, whether open source or proprietary.
|
||||
Contributions to the project are welcome and it is important to maintain
|
||||
clear record of contributions and terms under which they are licensed.
|
||||
To help with this, following procedure is used to allow acceptance and
|
||||
recording of the terms.
|
||||
|
||||
All contributions are expected to be licensed under the modified BSD
|
||||
license (see below). Acknowledgment of the terms is tracked through
|
||||
inclusion of Signed-off-by tag in the contributions at the end of the
|
||||
commit log message. This tag indicates that the contributor agrees with
|
||||
the Developer Certificate of Origin (DCO) version 1.1 terms (see below;
|
||||
also available from http://developercertificate.org/).
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The current requirements for contributions to hostap.git
|
||||
--------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
To indicate your acceptance of Developer's Certificate of Origin 1.1
|
||||
terms, please add the following line to the end of the commit message
|
||||
for each contribution you make to the project:
|
||||
|
||||
Signed-off-by: Your Name <your@email.example.org>
|
||||
|
||||
using your real name. Pseudonyms or anonymous contributions cannot
|
||||
unfortunately be accepted.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The preferred method of submitting the contribution to the project is by
|
||||
email to the hostap mailing list:
|
||||
hostap@lists.infradead.org
|
||||
Note that the list may require subscription before accepting message
|
||||
without moderation. You can subscribe to the list at this address:
|
||||
http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/hostap
|
||||
|
||||
The message should contain an inlined patch against the current
|
||||
development branch (i.e., the master branch of
|
||||
git://w1.fi/hostap.git). Please make sure the software you use for
|
||||
sending the patch does not corrupt whitespace. If that cannot be fixed
|
||||
for some reason, it is better to include an attached version of the
|
||||
patch file than just send a whitespace damaged version in the message
|
||||
body.
|
||||
|
||||
The patches should be separate logical changes rather than doing
|
||||
everything in a single patch. In other words, please keep cleanup, new
|
||||
features, and bug fixes all in their own patches. Each patch needs a
|
||||
commit log that describes the changes (what the changes fix, what
|
||||
functionality is added, why the changes are useful, etc.).
|
||||
|
||||
Please try to follow the coding style used in the project.
|
||||
|
||||
In general, the best way of generating a suitable formatted patch file
|
||||
is by committing the changes to a cloned git repository and using git
|
||||
format-patch. The patch can then be sent, e.g., with git send-email.

||||

History of license and contributions terms
|
||||
------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Until February 11, 2012, in case of most files in hostap.git, "under the
|
||||
open source license indicated in the file" means that the contribution
|
||||
is licensed both under GPL v2 and modified BSD license (see below) and
|
||||
the choice between these licenses is given to anyone who redistributes
|
||||
or uses the software. As such, the contribution has to be licensed under
|
||||
both options to allow this choice.
|
||||
|
||||
As of February 11, 2012, the project has chosen to use only the BSD
|
||||
license option for future distribution. As such, the GPL v2 license
|
||||
option is no longer used and the contributions are not required to be
|
||||
licensed until GPL v2. In case of most files in hostap.git, "under the
|
||||
open source license indicated in the file" means that the contribution
|
||||
is licensed under the modified BSD license (see below).
|
||||
|
||||
Until February 13, 2014, the project used an extended version of the DCO
|
||||
that included the identical items (a) through (d) from DCO 1.1 and an
|
||||
additional item (e):
|
||||
|
||||
(e) The contribution can be licensed under the modified BSD license
|
||||
as shown below even in case of files that are currently licensed
|
||||
under other terms.
|
||||
|
||||
This was used during the period when some of the files included the old
|
||||
license terms. Acceptance of this extended DCO version was indicated
|
||||
with a Signed-hostap tag in the commit message. This additional item (e)
|
||||
was used to collect explicit approval to license the contribution with
|
||||
only the modified BSD license (see below), i.e., without the GPL v2
|
||||
option. This was done to allow simpler licensing terms to be used in the
|
||||
future. It should be noted that the modified BSD license is compatible
|
||||
with GNU GPL and as such, this possible move to simpler licensing option
|
||||
does not prevent use of this software in GPL projects.
