Contributing to Chosen Path

Thank you for your interest in contributing to Chosen Path!

How to Contribute

  1. Fork the repository
  2. Create a feature branch (git checkout -b my-feature)
  3. Make your changes
  4. Submit a pull request

Copyright Assignment

By submitting a pull request or otherwise contributing to this project, you agree to the following:

  1. You assign all copyright and intellectual property rights in your contribution to the project owner (Chosen Path's maintainer).
  2. You confirm that you have the right to make this assignment — your contribution is your own original work, or you have the necessary rights to submit it.
  3. You understand that this assignment allows the project owner to license the project (including your contribution) under terms other than AGPL-3.0, such as granting more permissive licenses to organizations that adopt or steward the project.
  4. You retain the right to use your contribution for any other purpose.

This policy exists because Chosen Path may be adopted by educational institutions, nonprofits, or open-source communities that need licensing flexibility. Without copyright assignment, relicensing would require consent from every contributor.

What This Means in Practice

  • The project is licensed under AGPL-3.0. Your contribution will be available under AGPL-3.0 to everyone.
  • The project owner may additionally grant non-AGPL licenses to specific adopters (e.g., a university that needs an MIT-licensed fork, or a gaming company that needs a commercial license).
  • You will always be credited as a contributor.
  • You can always use your own contribution however you like.

Questions?

If you have questions about this policy, open an issue or contact the maintainer before contributing.
