Hi everyone, To make life easier on committers, and to maintain the legal integrity of the WebKit code base, we're asking WebKit contributors to include a few more things with their code submissions. Copyright notice and license - For existing files where you have made your own changes, please include your own copyright notice at the top, and make sure you are ok with the existing license terms. For new files, please also make sure to add the appropriate license. If you have included changes from anyone else, or from another project, such as the KDE version of khtml, please make sure to also include the appropriate copyright notices and licenses from that project. Test cases - Test cases and expected results should be included in the patch, and not just attached as separate files. This makes life easier for commiters. ChangeLog entry - Please include an appropriate ChangeLog entry with your patch, mentioning the bug number and describing the change. That way the commiter won't have to write one for you. Those submitting code, please make sure to include these things. Reviewers and submitters, make sure to check for these new requirements. The copyright notices are especially important. For brand new code changes, we need them to indicate that the author agrees to distribute the code under the same license, and for code copied from other projects it is essential that we do not violate their licenses. Therefore, we'd like to ask you to find the time to give us copyright information for any past contributions, with a brief note that you agree to the license on the affected files. If you've submitted a lot of different changes, we can probably find what files you have modified from the ChangeLog. But we still need to know how you would like to be listed on the copyright notice. Regards, Maciej
