# Contributing

Thanks for your interest in contributing to Open Connector.

## CLA and DCO

Every pull request, including documentation and test changes, needs recorded
coverage under the [Contributor License Agreement](CLA.md) before it can be
merged. The `license/cla` status check is provided by CLA Assistant. Read the
full current agreement before accepting it on a pull request.

A passing status check records the electronic assent flow; it does not by itself
confirm contribution scope, employer or client authority, or Lorevia LLC's
confirmation of coverage required by [CLA section 6](CLA.md#6-signing-and-changes).
Send signing details and supporting documents privately to
[legal@lorevia.io](mailto:legal@lorevia.io), not in a public pull request.
Identify the GitHub account, agreement version and text digest, and the pull
requests or commits covered. State explicitly whether future contributions are
included. If an employer or client owns relevant rights, include written
authorization or other evidence described in
[CLA section 4](CLA.md#4-authority-and-provenance). Company signatures must
identify an authorized representative and the covered contributors or
submissions.

Lorevia LLC will confirm receipt and coverage, retain the accepted agreement
and record, and provide the contributor a copy.

A Developer Certificate of Origin (DCO) sign-off, if requested for a
contribution, certifies provenance and does not replace CLA acceptance.
