Code Contributions

To make a contribution to a TianoCore project, follow these steps.

  1. Create a change description in the format specified below to use in the source control commit log.

  2. Your commit message must include your Signed-off-by signature

  3. Submit your code to the TianoCore project using the process that the project documents on its web page. If the process is not documented, then submit the code on development email list for the project.

  4. It is preferred that contributions are submitted using the same copyright license as the base project. When that is not possible, then contributions using the following licenses can be accepted:

    For documentation:

    Contributions of code put into the public domain can also be accepted.

    Contributions using other licenses might be accepted, but further review will be required.

Developer Certificate of Origin

Your change description should use the standard format for a commit message, and must include your Signed-off-by signature.

In order to keep track of who did what, all patches contributed must include a statement that to the best of the contributor's knowledge they have the right to contribute it under the specified license.

The test for this is as specified in the Developer's Certificate of Origin (DCO) 1.1. The contributor certifies compliance by adding a line saying

Signed-off-by: Developer Name [email protected]

where Developer Name is the contributor's real name, and the email address is one the developer is reachable through at the time of contributing.

Developer's Certificate of Origin 1.1

By making a contribution to this project, I certify that:

(a) The contribution was created in whole or in part by me and I
    have the right to submit it under the open source license
    indicated in the file; or

(b) The contribution is based upon previous work that, to the best
    of my knowledge, is covered under an appropriate open source
    license and I have the right under that license to submit that
    work with modifications, whether created in whole or in part
    by me, under the same open source license (unless I am
    permitted to submit under a different license), as indicated
    in the file; or

(c) The contribution was provided directly to me by some other
    person who certified (a), (b) or (c) and I have not modified
    it.

(d) I understand and agree that this project and the contribution
    are public and that a record of the contribution (including all
    personal information I submit with it, including my sign-off) is
    maintained indefinitely and may be redistributed consistent with
    this project or the open source license(s) involved.
