Before we can merge your contribution you'll need to sign a Contributor Agreement.  We suggest starting that process sooner rather than later.

  1. If you are contributing as an individual go ahead and sign the Individual Contributor Agreement.
  2. If your work will be contributed as part of a company or institution email legal@edx.org.

If you will be working on your contribution during school or work time or are using an account administered that organization you likely fall under our larger organization agreements.  You may also be under contractual obligation from your employer that all code you write is their property or may be their property if written on a machine that they purchased.  If you have any questions about whether you should sign the individual contributor agreement or contribute as part of an organization email your situation to legal@edx.org and they will help find the right agreement for you.
