1.4 Contributing to Gnulib ¶

All software here is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation—you need to have filled out an assignment form for a project that uses the module for that contribution to be accepted here.

If you have a piece of code that you would like to contribute, please email bug-gnulib@gnu.org.

Generally we are looking for files that fulfill at least one of the following requirements:

• If your .c and .h files define functions that are broken or missing on some other system, we should be able to include it.
• If your functions remove arbitrary limits from existing functions (either under the same name, or as a slightly different name), we should be able to include it.

If your functions define completely new but rarely used functionality, you should probably consider packaging it as a separate library.
