Default license [edit section]

== Default license ==
The default license for Fuego is the BSD 3-Clause license, as
indicated in the LICENSE file at the top of the 'fuego' and
'fuego-core' source repositories.
If a file does not have an explicit license, or license indicator (such as SPDX identifier) in the file, than that file is covered by the default license for the project, with the exceptions noted below for "external test materials".

(such as SPDX identifier) in the file, than that file is

noted below for "external test materials".
When making contributions, if you do NOT indicate an alternative license for your contribution, the contribution will be assigned the license of the file to which the contribution applies (which may be the default license, if the file contains no existing license indicator).

Although we may allow for other licenses within the Fuego project in order to accommodate external software added to our system, our preference is to avoid the proliferation of licenses in the Fuego code itself.

External test materials [edit section]

=== External test materials ==
Individual tests in Fuego consist of files in the directory:
engine/tests/<test_name> (which is known as the test home directory),
and may include two types of materials:
 * 1) Fuego-specific files
 * 2) files obtained from external sources, which have their own license.
The Fuego-specific materials consist of files such as: fuego_test.sh, spec.json, reference.json, test.yaml, chart_config.json, and possibly others as created for use in the Fuego project. External test materials may consist of tar files, helper scripts and patches against the source in the tar files.
The Fuego-specific materials consist of files such as:
fuego_test.sh, spec.json, reference.json, test.yaml, chart_config.json,
and possibly others as created for use in the Fuego project.
External test materials may consist of tar files, helper scripts
and patches against the source in the tar files.
Unless otherwise indicated, the Fuego-specific materials are licensed under the Fuego default license, and the external test materials are licensed under their own individual project license - as indicated in the test source.
Unless otherwise indicated, the Fuego-specific materials are
licensed under the Fuego default license, and the external test
materials are licensed under their own individual project
license - as indicated in the test source.
In some cases, there is no external source code, but only source that is originally written for Fuego and stored in the test home directory. This commonly includes tests based on a single shell script, that is written to be deployed to the Device Under Test by fuego_test.sh. Unless otherwise indicated, these files (source and scripts) are licensed under the Fuego default license.

If there is any ambiguity in the category of a particular file (external or Fuego-specific), please designate the intended license clearly in the file itself, when making a contribution.

Copyright statements [edit section]

== Copyright statements ==
Copyrights for individual contributions should be added to
individual files, when the contributions warrant copyright
assignment.  Some trivial fixes to existing code may not need
to have copyright assignment, and thus not every change to a file
needs to include a copyright notice for the contributor.

License tags [edit section]

== License tags ==
Our preference is to use SPDX license identifier, rather than a license
notice, to indicate the license
of any materials in Fuego.  Such identifiers and notices are only
desired if the materials are not contributed under the default Fuego
license of "BSD-3-Clause".
In a test.yaml, please indicate the license of the upstream test program. If there is no upstream test program (ie, the test is self-contained), please specify the license of the Fuego test definition itself.

Contributor agreement [edit section]

== Contributor agreement ==
The Fuego project does not require a signed Contributor License
Agreement for contribution to the project. Instead, we utilize
the following Developer Certificate of Origin that was copied
from the Linux kernel.
Each contribution to Fuego must be accompanied by a Signed-off-by line in the patch or commit description, which indicates agreement to the following:

Creating patches [edit section]

== Creating patches ==
If you use git, it's easy to create a patch (or patch series),
using 'git format-patch'. Or, you can go directly to e-mailing
a patch or patch series using 'git send-email'

Alternative submission methods [edit section]

== Alternative submission methods ==
I also allow patches as attachments to an e-mail to the list.
This is something NOT supported by the Linux kernel community.
If the patch is too big (greater than 300K), then please add it to a public git repository, and let me know the URL for the repository. I can add a remote for the repo, and fetch it and cherry pick the patch. I prefer doing a fetch and cherry-pick to a pull request.

While I will sometimes process patches through a repo, it is strongly preferred for patches to go through the mailing list as plain text, so that community members can review the patch in public.
