We look forward to your patches. Before we can accept them, you must sign a Contributor License Agreement. This a one-time requirement for this project. You can read more about Contribution License Agreements on Wikipedia.
However, you don't have to do this up-front. You can simply clone, fork and submit your pull-request as usual. We will be asking to sign CLA before merging pull requests.
Signing the CLA might sound scary but it's actually very simple and can be done in a few minutes.
The license agreement is a legal document in which you state you are entitled to contribute the code /documentation / translation and are willing to have it used in distributions and derivative works.
We wish for Ultra to be used and distributed as widely as possible and in order to do this with confidence, we need to be sure about the origins and continuing existence of the code.
No. This is a pure license agreement, not a copyright assignment. You still maintain the full copyright for your contributions. You are only providing a license to distribute your code without further restrictions.
No. This is one of the reasons we require a CLA. No individual contributor can hold such a threat over the entire community of users. Once you make a contribution, you are saying we can use that piece of code forever.
People and companies can therefore use Ultra, confident that they will not be asked to stop using pieces of the code at a later date.
Trivial patches like spelling fixes or missing words in the documentation won't require an agreement, since anybody could do those. However, almost anything will require a CLA.
