24 PyData uses a shared copyright model. Each contributor maintains copyright
|
jpayne@69
|
25 over their contributions to PyData. However, it is important to note that
|
jpayne@69
|
26 these contributions are typically only changes to the repositories. Thus,
|
jpayne@69
|
27 the PyData source code, in its entirety, is not the copyright of any single
|
jpayne@69
|
28 person or institution. Instead, it is the collective copyright of the
|
jpayne@69
|
29 entire PyData Development Team. If individual contributors want to maintain
|
jpayne@69
|
30 a record of what changes/contributions they have specific copyright on,
|
jpayne@69
|
31 they should indicate their copyright in the commit message of the change
|
jpayne@69
|
32 when they commit the change to one of the PyData repositories.
|
