Changes to this project should be proposed as pull requests on Github at: https://github.com/lxc/lxd

By default, any contribution to this project is made under the Apache 2.0 license.
The author of a change remains the copyright holder of their code (no copyright assignment).
To improve tracking of contributions to this project we use the DCO 1.1 and use a "sign-off" procedure for all changes going into the branch.
The sign-off is a simple line at the end of the explanation for the commit which certifies that you wrote it or otherwise have the right to pass it on as an open-source contribution.

even when part of a larger set. You may find git commit -s useful.
