4*bf47c682SAndroid Build Coastguard WorkerBefore we can use your code, you must sign the
5*bf47c682SAndroid Build Coastguard Worker[Google Individual Contributor License Agreement]
6*bf47c682SAndroid Build Coastguard Worker(https://cla.developers.google.com/about/google-individual)
7*bf47c682SAndroid Build Coastguard Worker(CLA), which you can do online. The CLA is necessary mainly because you own the
8*bf47c682SAndroid Build Coastguard Workercopyright to your changes, even after your contribution becomes part of our
9*bf47c682SAndroid Build Coastguard Workercodebase, so we need your permission to use and distribute your code. We also
10*bf47c682SAndroid Build Coastguard Workerneed to be sure of various other things—for instance that you'll tell us if you
11*bf47c682SAndroid Build Coastguard Workerknow that your code infringes on other people's patents. You don't have to sign
12*bf47c682SAndroid Build Coastguard Workerthe CLA until after you've submitted your code for review and a member has
13*bf47c682SAndroid Build Coastguard Workerapproved it, but you must do it before we can put your code into our codebase.
14*bf47c682SAndroid Build Coastguard WorkerBefore you start working on a larger contribution, you should get in touch with
15*bf47c682SAndroid Build Coastguard Workerus first through the issue tracker with your idea so that we can help out and
16*bf47c682SAndroid Build Coastguard Workerpossibly guide you. Coordinating up front makes it much easier to avoid
17*bf47c682SAndroid Build Coastguard Workerfrustration later on.
