Hagrid is owned by the [p≡p foundation] and licensed under the
|
|
terms of the AGPLv3+.
|
|
|
|
[p≡p foundation]: https://pep.foundation/
|
|
|
|
To finance its mission, privacy by default, the [p≡p foundation]
|
|
allows third parties (currently only [p≡p security]) to relicense its
|
|
software. Consistent with the rules of a foundation, the money
|
|
collected by the foundation in this manner is fully reinvested in the
|
|
foundation's mission, which includes further development of Hagrid.
|
|
|
|
[p≡p security]: https://www.pep.security/
|
|
|
|
To do this, the [p≡p foundation] needs permission from all
|
|
contributors to relicense their changes. In return, the
|
|
[p≡p foundation] guarantees that *all* releases of Hagrid (and
|
|
any other software it owns) will also be released under a GNU-approved
|
|
license. That is, even if Foo Corp is granted a license to use
|
|
Hagrid in a proprietary product, the exact code that Foo Corp
|
|
uses will also be licensed under a GNU-approved license.
|
|
|
|
If you want to contribute to Hagrid, and you agree to the above,
|
|
please sign the [p≡p foundation]'s [CLA]. This is an electronic
|
|
assignment; no paper work is required. You'll need to provide a valid
|
|
email address. After clicking on a link to verify your email address,
|
|
you'll receive a second email, which contains the contract between you
|
|
and the [p≡p foundation]. Be sure to keep it for future reference.
|
|
The maintainers of Hagrid will also receive a notification. At
|
|
that point, we can merge patches from you into Hagrid.
