+# Introduction |
+ |
+Thanks for thinking of contributing to Breakpad! Unfortunately there are some |
+pesky legal issues to get out of the way, but they're quick and painless. |
+ |
+## Legal |
+ |
+If you're doing work individually, not as part of any employment, you'll need to |
+sign the <a |
+href='http://code.google.com/legal/individual-cla-v1.0.html'>Individual |
+Contributor License Agreement</a>. This agreement can be completed |
+electronically. |
+ |
+If you're contributing to Breakpad as part of your employment with another |
+organization, you'll need to sign a <a |
+href='http://code.google.com/legal/corporate-cla-v1.0.html'> Corporate |
+Contributor License Agreement</a>. Once completed this document will need to be |
+faxed. |
+ |
+**_IMPORTANT_**: The authors(you!) of the contributions will maintain all |
+copyrights; the agreements you sign will grant rights to Google to use your |
+work. |
+ |
+Thanks, and if you have any questions let me know and I'll loop in the legal guy |
+here to get you an answer. |
+ |
+## Technical |
+ |
+Once you have signed the agreement you can be added to our contributors list and |
+have write access to code. For full details on getting started see our trunk |
+`README`. |
