  20         <p>The NASM uses the <a href="http://git-scm.com/">GIT</a> version control system.
  21         So we prefer to obtain well formatted patches which would be simply merged into the
  22         repo without much efforts.</p>

  24         <h1>Signing your work</h1>
  25
  26         <p>To improve tracking of who did what we've introduced a "sign-off" procedure
  27         on patches that are being emailed around.</p>

  30         patch, which certifies that you wrote it or otherwise have the right to

  36         <p>By making a contribution to this project, I certify that:</p>
  37
  38         <p>(a) The contribution was created in whole or in part by me and I
  39             have the right to submit it under the open source license
  40             indicated in the file; or</p>
  41
  42         <p>(b) The contribution is based upon previous work that, to the best
  43             of my knowledge, is covered under an appropriate open source
  44             license and I have the right under that license to submit that
  45             work with modifications, whether created in whole or in part
  46             by me, under the same open source license (unless I am
  47             permitted to submit under a different license), as indicated
  48             in the file; or</p>
  49
  50         <p>(c) The contribution was provided directly to me by some other
  51             person who certified (a), (b) or (c) and I have not modified
  52             it.</p>
  53
  54         <p>(d) I understand and agree that this project and the contribution
  55             are public and that a record of the contribution (including all
  56             personal information I submit with it, including my sign-off) is
  57             maintained indefinitely and may be redistributed consistent with
  58             this project or the open source license(s) involved.</p>
