| 3 | ### Before you contribute |
| 4 | **Before we can use your code, you must sign the |
| 5 | [Google Individual Contributor License Agreement](https://developers.google.com/open-source/cla/individual?csw=1) |
| 6 | (CLA)**, which you can do online. |
| 7 | |
| 8 | The CLA is necessary mainly because you own the copyright to your changes, |
| 9 | even after your contribution becomes part of our codebase, so we need your |
| 10 | permission to use and distribute your code. We also need to be sure of |
| 11 | various other things — for instance that you'll tell us if you know that |
| 12 | your code infringes on other people's patents. You don't have to sign |
| 13 | the CLA until after you've submitted your code for review and a member has |
| 14 | approved it, but you must do it before we can put your code into our codebase. |
| 15 | |
| 16 | Before you start working on a larger contribution, you should get in touch |
| 17 | with us first. Use the issue tracker to explain your idea so we can help and |
| 18 | possibly guide you. |

| 20 | ### Code reviews and other contributions. |
| 21 | **All submissions, including submissions by project members, require review.** |

| 24 | ### The small print |
| 25 | Contributions made by corporations are covered by a different agreement than |
| 26 | the one above, the |
| 27 | [Software Grant and Corporate Contributor License Agreement](https://developers.google.com/open-source/cla). |
