welcome! A couple of important notes: - I've largely dropped references to Subversion altogether, even knowing that php-doc hasn't migrated yet. We may need to put a few more "Git/SVN account" references in there if php-doc isn't going to be migrated in the near future. - I've removed the quick start hints from git-php.php after an account request has been sent in. The documentation there was pretty skimpy anyway and probably wouldn't have been enough to get a developer going, plus it's harder to distill the Git workflow into three or four snappy commands and I'm not really convinced that a form confirmation page is the right place to have learning materials, since it's a one-time page for most users. Instead I've replaced them with links to the relevant Wiki pages, which seem more likely to be the right place for new developers to learn. News post to come, but I wanted to separate this out for easier review.

<h2>PHP Contributor Guidelines for Code Developers</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Before you complete the form to request a Git account, you must understand and accept the principles under which PHP
|
|
itself is developed. These are summarised in the next paragraph.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Any code contributed to PHP must be contributed under the PHP license (or a compatible BSD-style license).
|
|
PHP will be redistributed under the PHP license (currently
|
|
<a href="http://www.php.net/license/3_01.txt">version 3.01</a>).
|
|
This includes implementation code, test cases, utility scripts and tools - that is, all code associated
|
|
with the PHP project. If you contribute code that isn't entirely your own
|
|
(for example it may be partially derived from other Open Source software) you are asked to add a comment
|
|
into the source code to indicate the origin and the license of the original code.
|
|
If you are unsure of the license you are asked to confirm with the owner of the code that they are
|
|
happy for it to be contributed to PHP under the PHP license.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Specifically regarding GPL and LGPL source code:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>GPL or LGPL licensed code cannot be used as a basis for any derived work contributed to PHP.</li>
|
|
<li>Extensions which link GPL'd libraries will not be accepted.</li>
|
|
<li>Extensions which link to LGPL libraries will be strongly discouraged.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
