-# Guidance on how to contribute
-
-> All contributions to this project will be released to the public domain.
-> By submitting a pull request or filing a bug, issue, or
-> feature request, you are agreeing to comply with this waiver of copyright interest.
-> Details can be found in our [TERMS](TERMS.md) and [LICENSE](LICENSE).
-
-
-There are two primary ways to help:
- - Using the issue tracker, and
- - Changing the code-base.
-
-
-## Using the issue tracker
-
-Use the issue tracker to suggest feature requests, report bugs, and ask questions.
-This is also a great way to connect with the developers of the project as well
-as others who are interested in this solution.
-
-Use the issue tracker to find ways to contribute. Find a bug or a feature, mention in
-the issue that you will take on that effort, then follow the _Changing the code-base_
-guidance below.
-
-
-## Changing the code-base
-
-Generally speaking, you should fork this repository, make changes in your
-own fork, and then submit a pull request. All new code should have associated
-unit tests that validate implemented features and the presence or lack of defects.
-Additionally, the code should follow any stylistic and architectural guidelines
-prescribed by the project. In the absence of such guidelines, mimic the styles
-and patterns in the existing code-base.

-# Security Policy
-
-There MUST be no unpatched vulnerabilities of medium or higher severity that have been publicly known for more than 60 days.
-
-The vulnerability must be patched and released by the project itself (patches may be developed elsewhere). A vulnerability becomes publicly known (for this purpose) once it has a CVE with publicly released non-paywalled information (reported, for example, in the National Vulnerability Database) or when the project has been informed and the information has been released to the public (possibly by the project). A vulnerability is considered medium or higher severity if its Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base qualitative score is medium or higher. In CVSS versions 2.0 through 3.1, this is equivalent to a CVSS score of 4.0 or higher. Projects may use the CVSS score as published in a widely-used vulnerability database (such as the National Vulnerability Database) using the most-recent version of CVSS reported in that database. Projects may instead calculate the severity themselves using the latest version of CVSS at the time of the vulnerability disclosure, if the calculation inputs are publicly revealed once the vulnerability is publicly known. Note: this means that users might be left vulnerable to all attackers worldwide for up to 60 days. This criterion is often much easier to meet than what Google recommends in Rebooting responsible disclosure, because Google recommends that the 60-day period start when the project is notified _even_ if the report is not public. Also note that this badge criterion, like other criteria, applies to the individual project. Some projects are part of larger umbrella organizations or larger projects, possibly in multiple layers, and many projects feed their results to other organizations and projects as part of a potentially-complex supply chain. An individual project often cannot control the rest, but an individual project can work to release a vulnerability patch in a timely way. Therefore, we focus solely on the individual project's response time. Once a patch is available from the individual project, others can determine how to deal with the patch (e.g., they can update to the newer version or they can apply just the patch as a cherry-picked solution).
-
-The public repositories MUST NOT leak any valid private credential (e.g., a working password or private key) that is intended to limit public access.

-## Supported Versions
-
-Use this section to tell people about which versions of your project are
-currently being supported with security updates.
-
-| Version | Supported |
-| ------- | ------------------ |
-| 5.1.x | :white_check_mark: |
-| 5.0.x | :x: |
-| 4.0.x | :white_check_mark: |
-| < 4.0 | :x: |
-
-## Reporting a Vulnerability
-
-Use this section to tell people how to report a vulnerability.
-
-Tell them where to go, how often they can expect to get an update on a
-reported vulnerability, what to expect if the vulnerability is accepted or
-declined, etc.
