+
+## Contributor License Agreements
+
+We'd love to accept your sample apps and patches! Before we can take them, we
+have to jump a couple of legal hurdles.
+
+Please fill out either the individual or corporate Contributor License Agreement
+(CLA).
+
+  * If you are an individual writing original source code and you're sure you
+    own the intellectual property, then you'll need to sign an [individual CLA]
+    (https://developers.google.com/open-source/cla/individual).
+  * If you work for a company that wants to allow you to contribute your work,
+    then you'll need to sign a [corporate CLA]
+    (https://developers.google.com/open-source/cla/corporate).
+
+Follow either of the two links above to access the appropriate CLA and
+instructions for how to sign and return it. Once we receive it, we'll be able to
+accept your pull requests.
