Contributing to Datahub

Contributor License Agreement (CLA)

A CLA is a document that specifies how a project is allowed to use your contribution; they are commonly used in many open source projects.

All contributions to all projects hosted by FINOS must be made with a Foundation CLA in place, and there are additional legal requirements that must also be met.

Commits and pull requests to FINOS repositories will only be accepted from those contributors with an active, executed Individual Contributor License Agreement (ICLA) with FINOS OR who are covered under an existing and active Corporate Contribution License Agreement (CCLA) executed with FINOS. Commits from individuals not covered under an ICLA or CCLA will be flagged and blocked by the FINOS Clabot tool. Please note that some CCLAs require individuals/employees to be explicitly named on the CCLA.

As a result, PRs submitted to the DataHelix project cannot be accepted until you have a CLA in place with the Foundation.

Notice that some dependencies, as referenced in the NOTICE file have certain restrictions upon contributors.
