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

    18  ### Code reviews
    19  All submissions, including submissions by project members, require review. We
    20  use Github pull requests for this purpose.

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