Contributing to smokedmeat

First off, thank you for considering contributing to smokedmeat! We value your time and effort.

The Legal Part (CLA)

To accept your contribution, we require you to agree to our Contributor License Agreement (CLA).

Why do we require this?

smokedmeat is backed by a commercial company. We believe in Open Source, but we also rely on a commercial business model to fund the ongoing development and maintenance of this project.

The CLA ensures that:

  1. We can defend the project: It gives us the legal standing to enforce the license if others violate it.
  2. Sustainability: It grants us the rights to include your contributions in our commercial products, which in turn generates the revenue that supports this Open Source project.
  3. Your Rights: You retain full ownership of your code. You simply grant us permission to use it.

How to Sign

When you open a pull request, the CLA Assistant bot will comment asking you to sign. Simply reply with:

I have read the CLA Document and I hereby sign the CLA

The bot will record your agreement and update the PR status check. You only need to sign once — it will be remembered for future pull requests.

The full CLA text is available in CLA.md. Please read it before signing.

Licensing Model

smokedmeat follows an open core model. Your contributions to this repository are licensed under AGPLv3. See LICENSING.md for full details on the open core boundary, trademarks, and commercial extensions.
