# The Contributor License Agreement
|
|
|
|
The [Cloud Native Computing Foundation][CNCF] defines the legal status of the
|
|
contributed code in a _Contributor License Agreement_ (CLA).
|
|
|
|
Only original source code from CLA signatories can be accepted into kubernetes.
|
|
|
|
This policy does not apply to [third_party] and [vendor].
|
|
|
|
## How do I sign?
|
|
|
|
#### 1. Read
|
|
|
|
* [CLA for individuals] to sign up as an individual or as an employee of a signed organization.
|
|
* [CLA for corporations] to sign as a corporation representative and manage signups from your organization.
|
|
|
|
#### 2. Sign in with GitHub.
|
|
|
|
Click
|
|
* [Individual signup] to sign up as an individual or as an employee of a signed organization.
|
|
* [Corp signup] to sign as a corporation representative and manage signups from your organization.
|
|
|
|
Either signup form looks like this:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### 3. Enter the correct E-mail address to validate!
|
|
|
|
The address entered on the form must meet two constraints:
|
|
|
|
* It __must match__ your [git email] (the output of `git config user.email`)
|
|
or your PRs will not be approved!
|
|
|
|
* It must be your official `person@organization.com` address if you signed up
|
|
as an employee of said organization.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### 4. 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 signup trouble, please explain your case on
|
|
the [CLA signing issue] and we (@sarahnovotny and @foxish),
|
|
along with the [CNCF] will help sort it out.
|
|
|
|
Another option: ask for help at `helpdesk@rt.linuxfoundation.org`.
