# CLA

## The Contributor License Agreement

Tencent defines the legal status of the contributed code in a *Contributor License Agreement* (CLA).

Only original source code from CLA signatories can be accepted into TARS.

### What am I agreeing to?

This CLA allows either an individual or an entity (the "**Corporation**") to Submit Contributions to Tencent, to authorize Contributions Submitted by its employees or agents to Tencent (in the case of a Corporation), and to grant copyright and patent licenses thereto.

It is important to read and understand this legal agreement.

### Ensure your Github e-mail address matches address used to sign CLA

Your Github email address **must match** the same address you use when signing the CLA. Github has [documentation](https://help.github.com/articles/setting-your-commit-email-address-on-github/) on setting email addresses.

You must also set your [git e-mail](https://help.github.com/articles/setting-your-email-in-git) to match this e-mail address as well.

If you've already submitted a PR you can correct your user.name and user.email and then use use `git commit --amend --reset-author` and then `git push --force` to correct the PR.
