+# Open Source Contribution Policy, Version 0.3
+
+## Policy
+
+We will accept contributions of good code that we can use from anyone.
+
+## What this means
+
+* "We will accept": This means that we will incorporate your contribution into
+  the project's codebase, adapt it as needed, and give you full credit for your
+  work.
+* "contributions": This means just about anything you wish to contribute to the
+  project, as long as it is good code we can use. The easier you make it for us
+  to accept your contribution, the happier we are, but if it's good enough, we
+  will do a reasonable amount of work to use it.
+* "of good code": This means that we will accept contributions that work well
+  and efficiently, that fit in with the goals of the project, that match the
+  project's coding style, and that do not impose an undue maintenance workload
+  on us going forward. This does not mean just program code, either, but
+  documentation and artistic works as appropriate to the project.
+* "that we can use": This means that your contribution must be given freely and
+  irrevocably, that you must have the right to contribute it for our
+  unrestricted use, and that your contribution is made under a license that is
+  compatible with the license the project has chosen and that permits us to
+  include, distribute, and modify your work without restriction.
+* "from anyone": This means exactly that. We don't care about anything but your
+  code. We don't care about your race, religion, national origin, biological
+  gender, perceived gender, sexual orientation, lifestyle, political viewpoint,
+  or anything extraneous like that. We will neither reject your contribution nor
+  grant it preferential treatment on any basis except the code itself. We do,
+  however, reserve the right to tell you to go away if you behave too
+  obnoxiously toward us.
+
+## If Your Contribution Is Rejected
+
+If we reject your contribution, it means only that we do not consider it
+suitable for our project in the form it was submitted. It is not personal. If
+you ask civilly, we will be happy to discuss it with you and help you understand
+why it was rejected, and if possible improve it so we can accept it. If we are
+not able to reach an agreement, then you are free to fork our project, as with
+any Open Source project, and add your contribution to your fork.
