PyCrypto Code Submission Requirements - Rev. C

Last updated: 2009-02-28

In an effort to further clarify PyCrypto's licensing terms, anyone submitting
code to PyCrypto must be able to certify the following (taken from the Linux
kernel's SubmittingPatches file):

    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.

In addition, the code's author must not be a national, citizen, or resident of
the United States of America.

In addition, the code must not be of U.S. origin.

In addition, all new code contributed to PyCrypto must be dedicated to the
public domain as follows:

    The contents of this file are dedicated to the public domain.  To the extent
    that dedication to the public domain is not available, everyone is granted a
    worldwide, perpetual, royalty-free, non-exclusive license to exercise all
    rights associated with the contents of this file for any purpose whatsoever.
    No rights are reserved.
