# Introduction

Thanks for thinking of contributing to Breakpad! Unfortunately there are some
pesky legal issues to get out of the way, but they're quick and painless.

## Legal

If you're doing work individually, not as part of any employment, you'll need to
sign the <a
href='http://code.google.com/legal/individual-cla-v1.0.html'>Individual
Contributor License Agreement</a>. This agreement can be completed
electronically.

If you're contributing to Breakpad as part of your employment with another
organization, you'll need to sign a <a
href='http://code.google.com/legal/corporate-cla-v1.0.html'> Corporate
Contributor License Agreement</a>. Once completed this document will need to be
faxed.

**_IMPORTANT_**: The authors(you!) of the contributions will maintain all
copyrights; the agreements you sign will grant rights to Google to use your
work.

Thanks, and if you have any questions let me know and I'll loop in the legal guy
here to get you an answer.

## Technical

Once you have signed the agreement you can be added to our contributors list and
have write access to code. For full details on getting started see our trunk
`README`.
