By making a contribution to this project, I certify that:

(a) The contribution was created in whole or in part by me and I

|
(b) The contribution is based upon previous work that, to the best
|
|
|
|
of my knowledge, is covered under an appropriate open source

|
|
license and I have the right under that license to submit that
|
|
|
|
work with modifications, whether created in whole or in part
|
|
|
|
by me, under the same open source license (unless I am
|
|
|
|
permitted to submit under a different license), as indicated
|
|
|
|
in the file; or
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(c) The contribution was provided directly to me by some other
|
|
|
|
person who certified (a), (b) or (c) and I have not modified

|
|
|
personal information I submit with it, including my sign-off) is
|
|
|
|
maintained indefinitely and may be redistributed consistent with
|
|
|
|
this project or the open source license(s) involved.
