Don't add code to Emacs written by someone other than yourself -without thinking about the legal aspect (make sure they have an -assignment, if adding a file adjust the copyright statements in the -file). NB the ChangeLog entry should be in the name of the author of -the code, not the person who installs it. +without thinking about the legal aspect. Even if the changes are +trivial, consider if they combine with previous changes by the same +author to make a non-trivial total. If so, make sure they have an +assignment. If adding a whole file adjust the copyright statements in +the file. -2. When installing code written by someone else, I think it is helpful -to: i) put the name of the author in the cvs log (as well as the -ChangeLog); and ii) not check-in any of your own changes to the same -file in the same commit. +2. When installing code written by someone else, the ChangeLog entry +should be in the name of the author of the code, not the person who +installs it. I think it is helpful to put the author (if not yourself) +in the CVS log as well; and to not install any of your own changes in +the same commit. 3. With images, add the legal info to a README file in the directory containing the image.
