### Policy

 1. You confirm having full rights to submit the entirety of the work you're contributing under the license indicated for each file.
 2. If any third-party work has been included, even partially, credit is required as well as following the license requirements.
    Such as via it's copyright notice when applicable or otherwise via the `Co-Authored-By` trailer.
 3. Operators and users of (semi-)automated software are held accountable. It must not be low-quality, spammy, or breach involved parties consent.
    As such asking first is strongly recommended.

Note: Machine Learning software such as Diffusion Models and LLMs fundamentally break this policy, as such use of them is effectively banned.

### Commit signature

Each commit must include the following trailers:

 * `Signed-off-by` with a recognisable and public name and email
 * `X-Contrib-Policy: CONTRIBUTING.md 2026-03-12`

Which can be automated with adding a script like this one to `.git/hooks/commit-msg`:
```
#!/bin/sh

NAME=$(git config user.name)
EMAIL=$(git config user.email)

git interpret-trailers --in-place --if-exists doNothing \
	--trailer "Signed-off-by: $NAME <$EMAIL>" \
	--trailer "X-Contrib-Policy: CONTRIBUTING.md 2026-03-12" \
	"$1"
```
