###Background
|
||||
As we did for sysdig, we are formalizing the way that we accept contributions of code from the contributing community. We must now ask that contributions to falco be provided subject to the terms and conditions of a [Contributor License Agreement (CLA)](./cla). The CLA comes in two forms, applicable to contributions by individuals, or by legal entities such as corporations and their employees. We recognize that entering into a CLA with us involves real consideration on your part, and we’ve tried to make this process as clear and simple as possible.
|
||||
|
||||
We’ve modeled our CLA off of industry standards, such as [the CLA used by Kubernetes](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md). Note that this agreement is not a transfer of copyright ownership, this simply is a license agreement for contributions, intended to clarify the intellectual property license granted with contributions from any person or entity. It is for your protection as a contributor as well as the protection of falco; it does not change your rights to use your own contributions for any other purpose.
|
||||
|
||||
For some background on why contributor license agreements are necessary, you can read FAQs from many other open source projects:
|
||||
- [Django’s excellent CLA FAQ](https://www.djangoproject.com/foundation/cla/faq/)
|
||||
- [A well-written chapter from Karl Fogel’s Producing Open Source Software on CLAs](http://producingoss.com/en/copyright-assignment.html)
|
||||
- [The Wikipedia article on CLAs](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contributor_license_agreement)
|
||||
|
||||
As always, we are grateful for your past and present contributions to falco.
|
||||

||||

|
||||
|
||||
**Corporate contributions**: Employees of corporations, members of LLCs or LLPs, or others acting on behalf of a contributing entity, must review the [Corporate Contributor License Agreement](./cla/falco_corp_contributor_agreement.txt), must be an authorized representative of the contributing entity, and indicate agreement to it on behalf of the contributing entity by adding the following lines to every GIT commit message:
|
||||
|
||||
