We'd love to accept your patches! Before we can take them, we
66
have to jump a couple of legal hurdles.

Please fill out either the individual or corporate Contributor License Agreement
9-
(CLA).

### Before you contribute
9+
Before we can use your code, you must sign the
10+
[Google Individual Contributor License Agreement](https://cla.developers.google.com/about/google-individual)
11+
(CLA), which you can do online. The CLA is necessary mainly because you own the
12+
copyright to your changes, even after your contribution becomes part of our
13+
codebase, so we need your permission to use and distribute your code. We also
14+
need to be sure of various other things—for instance that you'll tell us if you
15+
know that your code infringes on other people's patents. You don't have to sign
16+
the CLA until after you've submitted your code for review and a member has
17+
approved it, but you must do it before we can put your code into our codebase.
18+
Before you start working on a larger contribution, you should get in touch with
19+
us first through the issue tracker with your idea so that we can help out and
20+
possibly guide you. Coordinating up front makes it much easier to avoid
21+
frustration later on.

* If you are an individual writing original source code and you're sure you
12-
own the intellectual property, then you'll need to sign an [individual CLA]
13-
(http://code.google.com/legal/individual-cla-v1.0.html).
14-
* If you work for a company that wants to allow you to contribute your work,
15-
then you'll need to sign a [corporate CLA]
16-
(http://code.google.com/legal/corporate-cla-v1.0.html).
23+
### Code reviews
24+
All submissions, including submissions by project members, require review. We
25+
use Github pull requests for this purpose.

18-
Follow either of the two links above to access the appropriate CLA and
19-
instructions for how to sign and return it. Once we receive it, we'll be able to
20-
accept your pull requests.
27+
### The small print
28+
Contributions made by corporations are covered by a different agreement than
29+
the one above, the
30+
[Software Grant and Corporate Contributor License Agreement](https://cla.developers.google.com/about/google-corporate).
