# hledger Contributor Agreement

This is the official contributor agreement (v1) and contributor list for
the hledger project. If you have contributed non-trivial code changes to
hledger, please sign this, to help ensure:

1.  that there is a clear legal status and audit trail for the project

2.  that you get proper credit for your work

3.  that we are able to remain license-compatible with related software
    by updating to newer versions of our license when appropriate (eg
    GPLv2 -\> GPLv3)

To "sign", read the conditions below and then send a darcs patch to
\`this file\`\_ adding your name to the Contributor List above. By so
doing you promise that all of your commits to hledger:

-   are free of patent violations or copyright violations, to the best
    of your knowledge

-   are released under the hledger project's
    [license](http://joyful.com/repos/hledger/LICENSE); or are released
    under another compatible license (in which case this must be clearly
    noted); or are public domain

-   may be relicensed under official future versions of their license at
    the discretion of the project leader

We don't currently gather paper signatures, but this is a good start.
Feel free to update your entry as your contributions grow!
