Submitting patches
OSSEC is an open source project and we love contributions back to the project,
but a few guidelines must be follow before we commit your code.
Contributions must be under a personal copyright
If you are adding a new file, the copyright must be under your name, not of your
company. Other open source projects, have similar guidelines and a good explanation
is available at the Samba web site.
This may sound obvious, but you must make sure that your patches do not infrige someone's else copyright.
Contributions must be under the GPLv3
OSSEC is licensed under the GPLv3 (only) and we will only accept code under this license.
One time contributions
One time contributions can be sent to the development mailing list as diffs (or new entries) against
the latest available version.
CVS Access
If you wish to become a regular contributor to the project, we will give you CVS read-only access.
Only after a period of time you will get write access! During the "getting trust" period, you
must submit your diffs to the development mailing list for acceptance.
Your CVS commit messages will appear on the CVS list archives.
