Title: Contribute
Contributions of any sort (text suggestions, ideas, feedback, criticism) from all interested individuals are welcome and encouraged. All copyrightable contributions to copyleft-next are dedicated to the public domain to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, pursuant to CC0. See the accompanying file CC0 for further details.
Contributions from individual free/libre/open source software project participants, regardless of their views on copyleft, and regardless of their opinions on existing licenses such as the GNU GPLv2 and its successors, are especially welcome and strongly encouraged.
Patches or merge requests relating to a given license text should be made against the relevant file in the Drafts/ directory, not a numbered version in the Releases/ directory. The files in Releases/ are meant to be immutable. (More than one person has pointed out that this Drafts/Releases approach is bad and represents a poor use of git. Any concrete suggestions for an improved system would be greatly welcome.)
Development and discussion of copyleft-next by participants in the Copyleft-Next Project are governed by the “Hindering Backchannels Rule” (— formerly known as the “Harvey Birdman Rule”).
