At present all contributions to the project are made on a voluntary basis. We respect and value these as donations, not expectations.
We are working out formal contribution mechanisms. The philosophy is:
- all contributors should be recognised
- all artefacts should be Openly licensed (e.g. consistent with the Open Definition https://opendefinition.org . In essence: "free to use, free to reuse and free to redistribute for any field of endeavour"
- all contributors should adhere to a Code of Conduct - we intend to implement https://www.contributor-covenant.org/ or similar.
The Open Definition covers many types of artefact; our main ones are:
- computer code. Typical licences are Apache V2.0, (L)GPL
- documents. In many cases CC BY, CC BY-SA, and CC0 are appropriate
