## Contributing
Contributions are very welcome 🙏. Let's talk to see how a proposal fits into
the overall roadmap and avoid surprises. You'll also have to sign a CLA that
retains your copyright, ensures that TrailBase will continue to be freely
available under an OSI-approved copyleft license, and allow the TrailBase
project to sub-license your contributions in line with more prominent projects
Contributions are very much appreciated 🙏. For anything beyond bug fixes,
let's quickly chat to see how a proposal fits into the overall roadmap and
avoid any surprises.
Since we're not sure yet what the best setup or exact license is, e.g.
compatibility between OSL-3.0 and more popular licenses, we'd ask you to sign a
simple CLA that retains your copyright, ensures that TrailBase will continue to
be freely available under an OSI-approved copyleft license, while allowing for
some flexibility and sub-licensing as established by large, successful projects
such as Grafana or Element.
This may sound presumptuous but we ain't lawyers and try to follow precedent.
## License
@@ -70,9 +73,9 @@ TrailBase is free software under the terms of the [OSL-3.0](LICENSE).
We chose this license over more popular, similar copyleft licenses such as
AGPLv3 due to its narrower definition of derivative work that only covers
modifications to TrailBase itself. This is akin to "GPL + classpath exception"
and allows the use of TrailBase as a framework without inflicting licensing
requirements on original work layered on top.

or LGPL's linkage exception allowing the use of TrailBase as a framework
without inflicting licensing requirements on original work layered on top.
That said, we ain't lawyers. The author of the license provides a more
thorough [explanation](https://rosenlaw.com/OSL3.0-explained.htm).
