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”).

## Real-Time Chat
|
|
|
|
We previously had real-time chat locations, but the archives were not well
|
|
kept, and per the [Hindering Backchannels Rule], any real-time chat about
|
|
this project *should be* archived.
|
|
|
|
We're looking into setting up an XMPP channel and will let folks here know.
