- CONTRIBUTIONS
Contributions, constructive criticism, patches, bug reports, and suggestions are always welcome. However, major code contributions to core files, such as the compiler, runtime, adapter files, library files, or tools can only be accepted with a transfer of copyright or if the submitted code is explicitly declared as public domain code. This simplifies the selling of commercial licenses, which provide a revenue source for the sustained development of Logtalk.
Happy Logtalking!
