+How to contribute a patch to libssh
+====================================
+
+Simple, just make the code change, and email it as either a "diff -u"
+change, or as a "git format-patch" change against the original source
+code to libssh@libssh.org, or attach it to a bug report at
+https://red.libssh.org/
+
+For larger code changes, breaking the changes up into a set of simple
+patches, each of which does a single thing, are much easier to review.
+Patch sets like that will most likely have an easier time being merged
+into the Samba code than large single patches that make lots of
+changes in one large diff.
+
+Ownership of the contributed code
+==================================
+
+libssh is a project with distributed copyright ownership, which means
+we prefer the copyright on parts of libssh to be held by individuals
+rather than corporations if possible. There are historical legal
+reasons for this, but one of the best ways to explain it is that it's
+much easier to work with individuals who have ownership than corporate
+legal departments if we ever need to make reasonable compromises with
+people using and working with libssh.
+
+We track the ownership of every part of libssh via http://git.libssh.org,
+our source code control system, so we know the provenance of every piece
+of code that is committed to libssh.
+
+So if possible, if you're doing libssh changes on behalf of a company
+who normally owns all the work you do please get them to assign
+personal copyright ownership of your changes to you as an individual,
+that makes things very easy for us to work with and avoids bringing
+corporate legal departments into the picture.
+
+If you can't do this we can still accept patches from you owned by
+your employer under a standard employment contract with corporate
+copyright ownership. It just requires a simple set-up process first.
+
+We use a process very similar to the way things are done in the Linux
+Kernel community, so it should be very easy to get a sign off from
+your corporate legal department. The only changes we've made are to
+accommodate the license we use, which is LGPLv2 (or later) whereas the
+Linux kernel uses GPLv2.
+
+The process is called signing.
+
+How to sign your work
+----------------------
+
+Once you have permission to contribute to libssh from your employer, simply
+email a copy of the following text from your corporate email address to:
+
+contributing@libssh.org
+
+
+
+libssh Developer's Certificate of Origin. Version 1.0
+
+
+By making a contribution to this project, I certify that:
+
+(a) The contribution was created in whole or in part by me and I
+    have the right to submit it under the appropriate
+    version of the GNU General Public License; or
+
+(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 GNU General Public License, in the appropriate version; or
+
+(c) The contribution was provided directly to me by some other
+    person who certified (a) or (b) and I have not modified it.
+
+(d) I understand and agree that this project and the contribution are
+    public and that a record of the contribution (including all
+    metadata and personal information I submit with it, including my
+    sign-off) is maintained indefinitely and may be redistributed
+    consistent with the libssh Team's policies and the requirements of
+    the GNU GPL where they are relevant.
+
+(e) I am granting this work to this project under the terms of the
+    GNU Lesser General Public License as published by the
+    Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of
+    these License, or (at the option of the project) any later version.
+
+    http://www.gnu.org/licenses/lgpl-2.0.html
+
+
+We will maintain a copy of that email as a record that you have the
+rights to contribute code to libssh under the required licenses whilst
+working for the company where the email came from.
+
+Then when sending in a patch via the normal mechanisms described
+above, add a line that states:
+
+   Signed-off-by: Random J Developer <random@developer.example.org>
+
+using your real name and the email address you sent the original email
+you used to send the libssh Developer's Certificate of Origin to us
+(sorry, no pseudonyms or anonymous contributions.)
+
+That's it! Such code can then quite happily contain changes that have
+copyright messages such as:
+
+   (c) Example Corporation.
+
+and can be merged into the libssh codebase in the same way as patches
+from any other individual. You don't need to send in a copy of the
+libssh Developer's Certificate of Origin for each patch, or inside each
+patch. Just the sign-off message is all that is required once we've
+received the initial email.
+
+Have fun and happy libssh hacking !
+
+The libssh Team
