We now have a Contribution Policy available in the “community-governance” repo for your review:

# LibreHealth Contribution Policy

You and other contributors are part of the growing LibreHealth community. We work together to share ideas, software, documentation, bug fixes, development tools, project management resources, and anything else of value that you contribute to create successful health IT software for the world. Our success is solely credited to our contributors, working together as a community.

Our Contribution Policy is simple: Voluntary contributions are gratefully accepted as long as the LibreHealth community and all downstream users are allowed to use those contributions for our mission to benefit the public.

There are many kinds of contributions we invite you to make for this cause:

- Tangible contributions of intellectual property such as source code and documentation, ideas and inventions, and other technical solutions to health care delivery problems
- In-kind and financial donations to support our activities
- Contributions of your time and your efforts to communicate and cooperate with each other in the LibreHealth project.

LibreHealth accepts intellectual property contributions of many kinds and then collects them into LibreHealth software distributions that are licensed to the public under the open source Mozilla Public License 2.0 with Healthcare Disclaimer (MPL 2.0 HD).  Non-code contributions such as documentation, images, or other creative works are made available under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License.

The details around intellectual property contributions in particular are often tricky to understand.  As described more fully below, LibreHealth project teams review all software contributions to ensure that open source licenses for the contributions are compatible with the MPL 2.0 HD license.

If you have questions about any aspect of the LibreHealth Contribution Policy, please contact community@librehealth.io.
