Contributing to MaterialX

Contributor License Agreement

To contribute to MaterialX, you must sign a Contributor License Agreement through the EasyCLA system, which is integrated with GitHub as a pull request check.

Prior to submitting a pull request, you can sign the form through this link. If you submit a pull request before the form is signed, the EasyCLA check will fail with a red NOT COVERED message, and you'll have another opportunity to sign the form through the provided link.

• If you are an individual writing the code on your own time and you're sure you are the sole owner of any intellectual property you contribute, you can sign the CLA as an Individual Contributor.
• If you are writing the code as part of your job, or if your employer retains ownership to intellectual property you create, then your company's legal affairs representatives should sign a Corporate Contributor License Agreement. If your company already has a signed CCLA on file, ask your local CLA manager to add you to your company's approved list.

The MaterialX CLAs are the standard forms used by Linux Foundation projects and recommended by the ASWF TAC.
