The OpenStack projects do not require copyright assignment. You are the owner of code you write. It is necessary however, to have you read and agree to a simple Contributor License agreement. This is a simple electronic form that is integrated into our workflow, and a prerequisite for contributing code to the projects on launchpad.
If you are contributing on your own behalf, fill out an Individual Contributor License agreement. (If you are covered by a Corporate Contributor License Agreement, you may not need an individual CLA, as long as your contributions flow through the corporation).
If you are contributing on behalf of a company, an authorized representative of your company should sign a Corporate Contributor License Agreement. You should not sign on behalf of your company unless you have the authority to do so. By signing on behalf of your company, you represent that you have the authority to do so and intend for your company to be bound by this Agreement.
- We use Echosign to manage these agreements. After clicking on either agreement linked above, please fill out each required field and digitally sign by simply typing your name in the signature box.
