### Contributors License Agreements
We at GNS3 are eager to work with you. For small changeslittle bugfixes, correcting typos, and the likeplease just submit pull requests to any of our projects. For larger changes, though, we have to ask you to jump through a little hoop.
In particular, in order for us to accept any major patches from you, you will have to electronically sign a statement that indicates two things:
- You are willingly licensing your contributions under the terms of the open source license of the project that youre contributing to.
- You are legally able to license your contributions as stated.
The reason we do this is to ensure, to the extent possible, that we dont “taint” the projects we manage with contributions that turn out to be improper. This protects everyone who wants to use the projects, including you!
