Contributing

Contributions are welcome. Please bear the following in mind:

  • Base your changes on the dev branch
    • If necessary, rebase against dev before opening a pull request
  • Follow PEP 8. I currently periodically run Black against the codebase and perhaps you should, too
  • Use spaces for indentation, and ensure that all methods have a proper docstring. Please don't use Doctest
  • If at all possible, don't add dependencies
    • If it's unavoidable, ensure that the dependency is maintained, and supported
    • Ensure that you add your dependency to setup.py
  • Run the tests, and ensure that they pass. If you're adding a feature, you must add tests that exercise it
  • If your pull request is a feature, document it
  • One feature per pull request
  • If possible, squash your commits before opening a pull request, unless it makes no sense to do so
  • If in doubt, comment your code.

License of Contributed Code

Contributions are licensed under the Blue Oak Contributor Licence 1.0.0. See below

Blue Oak Contributor License

Version 1.0.0

Purpose

This license gives the steward of a software project the legal rights and assurances it needs to accept contributions covered by intellectual property rights.

Copyright

The contributor licenses the steward to do everything with their contributions that would otherwise infringe their copyrights in them.

Patent

The contributor licenses the steward to do everything with their contributions that would otherwise infringe any patent claims they can license or become able to license.

Sublicensing

The steward can license the contributions to others in turn, under whatever terms it chooses.

Reliability

The contributor cannot revoke this license.

Termination

The contributor can stop this license from covering contributions submitted in the future by writing the steward through one of the channels it uses to receive contributions. Contributions the contributor submitted before remain under this license.

Awareness

The contributor is aware that because of legal rules and contracts, they may need to get someone else's permission to submit contributions, even of their own work. For example, "work made for hire" rules can make employers and clients the owners of copyrights in the contributor's work. Contracts with clients, or to form new companies, may make them the owners of copyrights in the contributor's work.

Rights

All work in contributions the contributor submits for inclusion in the project will be either:

  • their own work, which they own the copyrights in or have permission to submit

  • work licensed by others under permissive license terms that Blue Oak Council rates "bronze" or better at https://blueoakcouncil.org/list

Notices

The contributor promises to copy copyright notices, license terms, and other licensing-related notices for work licensed by others in their contributions, so the steward can tell what work is licensed by others under what terms and follow their notice requirements.

No Liability

As far as the law allows, contributions under this license come as is, without any warranty or condition, except those under "Rights" above.

As far as the law allows, the contributor will not be liable to anyone for any damages related to contributions under this license, under any kind of legal claim, except for claims under "Rights" above.
