# The Contributor License Agreement
|
|
|
|
The [Cloud Native Computing Foundation](https://www.cncf.io/community) defines
|
|
the legal status of the contributed code in two different types of _Contributor License Agreements_
|
|
(CLAs), [individual contributors](https://github.com/cncf/cla/blob/master/individual-cla.pdf) and [corporations](https://github.com/cncf/cla/blob/master/corporate-cla.pdf).
|
|
|
|
Kubernetes can only accept original source code from CLA signatories.
|
|
|
|
This policy does not apply to [third_party](https://git.k8s.io/kubernetes/third_party)
|
|
and [vendor](https://git.k8s.io/kubernetes/vendor).
|
|
|
|
It is important to read and understand this legal agreement.
|
|
|
|
## How do I sign?
|
|
|
|
#### 1. Log in to the Linux Foundation ID Portal with Github
|
|
|
|
Click one of:
|
|
* [Individual signup](https://identity.linuxfoundation.org/projects/cncf) to
|
|
sign up as an individual or as an employee of a signed organization.
|
|
* [Corporation signup](https://identity.linuxfoundation.org/node/285/organization-signup)
|
|
to sign as a corporation representative and manage signups from your organization.
|
|
|
|
Once you get to the sign in form, click "Log in with Github":
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### 2. Create Linux Foundation ID Portal account with correct e-mail address
|
|
|
|
Ensure that the e-mail address you use when completing this form matches the one
|
|
you will use for your commits.
|
|
|
|
If you are signing up as an employee, you must use your official
|
|
person@organization.domain email address in the CNCF account registration page.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### 3. Complete signing process
|
|
|
|
After creating your account, follow the instructions to complete the
|
|
signing process through Hellosign.
|
|
|
|
#### 4. Ensure your Github e-mail address matches address used to sign CLA
|
|
|
|
Your Github email address __must match__ the same address you use when signing
|
|
the CLA. Github has [documentation](https://help.github.com/articles/setting-your-commit-email-address-on-github/)
|
|
on setting email addresses.
|
|
|
|
You must also set your [git e-mail](https://help.github.com/articles/setting-your-email-in-git)
|
|
to match this e-mail address as well.
|
|
|
|
If you already submitted a PR you can correct your user.name and user.email
|
|
and then use `git commit --amend --reset-author` and then `git push --force` to
|
|
correct the PR.
|
|
|
|
#### 5. Look for an email indicating successful signup.
|
|
|
|
> The Linux Foundation
|
|
>
|
|
> Hello,
|
|
>
|
|
> You have signed CNCF Individual Contributor License Agreement.
|
|
> You can see your document anytime by clicking View on HelloSign.
|
|
>
|
|
|
|
Once you have this, the CLA authorizer bot will authorize your PRs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
If you have problems signing the CLA, send an email message to: `helpdesk@rt.linuxfoundation.org`.
|
|
|
|
Someone from the CNCF will respond to your ticket to help.
