 The `softlayer_api` Ruby Gem is an open source project and the developers who use it have an opportunity to tailor its direction. Here are some guideposts to help contributors get started with the code and ensure that their additions fit into the structure and style of the Gem. If you are new to the project, we hope this will help you along the way, if you find something is missing, however, please open an issue in GitHub against the documentation; or, since the documentation itself is part of the open source project, please feel free to submit changes to this guide which might leave some footprints those who follow along behind you.
 
+# Contributer License Agreement
+
+Contributions to the softlayer-ruby project require the submission of a
+contributer license agreement. Individual contributers should review and
+complete the [CLA](./cla-individual.md). Contributions made of behalf of a 
+company/employer will necessitate the completion of the [CCLA](./cla-corporate.md).

 # Requesting Changes
 
 Any requests for enhancements, new features, or bug reports should be entered into the softlayer-ruby GitHub repository as "[issues](https://github.com/softlayer/softlayer-ruby/issues?state=open)".

+#####Software Grant and Corporate Contributor License Agreement ("Agreement")
+
+http://www.github.com/softlayer/softlayer-ruby/
+
+
+Thank you for your interest in IBM’s softlayer-ruby project (“the Project").
+In order to clarify the intellectual property license granted with Contributions
+from any person or entity, IBM must have a Contributor License Agreement (CLA)
+on file that has been signed by each Contributor, indicating agreement to the
+license terms below. This license is for your protection as a Contributor as
+well as the protection of IBM and its users; it does not change your rights to
+use your own Contributions for any other purpose.
+
+This version of the Agreement allows an entity (the "Corporation") to submit
+Contributions to the Project, to authorize Contributions submitted by its
+designated employees to the Project, and to grant copyright and patent licenses
+thereto.
+
+If you have not already done so, please complete and sign, then scan and email a
+pdf file of this Agreement to pjackson@softlayer.com. 
+
+
+
+Please read this document carefully before signing and keep a copy for your
+records.

+
+
+You accept and agree to the following terms and conditions for Your present and
+future Contributions submitted to the Project. Except for the license granted
+herein to IBM and recipients of software distributed by IBM, You reserve all
+right, title, and interest in and to Your Contributions.
+
+1. Definitions.
+
+   "You" (or "Your") shall mean the copyright owner or legal entity
+   authorized by the copyright owner that is making this Agreement
+   with IBM. For legal entities, the entity making a Contribution and    
+   all other entities that control, are controlled by, or are under 
+   common control with that entity are considered to be a single    
+   Contributor. For the purposes of this definition, "control" means    
+   (i) the power, direct or indirect, to cause the direction or
+   management of such entity, whether by contract or otherwise, or
+   (ii) ownership of fifty percent (50%) or more of the outstanding
+   shares, or (iii) beneficial ownership of such entity.
+
+   "Contribution" shall mean the code, documentation or other original
+   works of authorship expressly identified in Schedule B, as well as
+   any original work of authorship, including any modifications or    
+   additions to an existing work, that is intentionally submitted by
+   You to IBM for inclusion in, or documentation of, the Project managed
+   by IBM (the "Work"). For the purposes of this definition, "submitted"
+   means any form of electronic, verbal, or written communication sent to
+   IBM or its representatives, including but not limited to communication
+   on electronic mailing lists, source code control systems, and issue
+   tracking systems that are managed by, or on behalf of, IBM for the
+   purpose of discussing and improving the Work, but excluding
+   communication that is conspicuously marked or otherwise designated
+   in writing by You as "Not a Contribution."
+
+2. Grant of Copyright License.
+
+   Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
+   You hereby grant to IBM and to recipients of software
+   distributed by IBM a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, 
+   no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable copyright license to 
+   reproduce, prepare derivative works of, publicly display, 
+   publicly perform, sublicense, and distribute Your Contributions
+   and such derivative works.
+
+3. Grant of Patent License.
+
+   Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, 
+   You hereby grant to IBM and to recipients of software 
+   distributed by IBM a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, 
+   no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable (except as
+   stated in this section) patent license to make, have made, use,
+   offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer the Work,
+   where such license applies only to those patent claims licensable
+   by You that are necessarily infringed by Your Contribution(s)
+   alone or by combination of Your Contribution(s) with the Work to
+   which such Contribution(s) were submitted. If any entity institutes
+   patent litigation against You or any other entity (including a
+   cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that your
+   Contribution, or the Work to which you have contributed, constitutes
+   direct or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
+   granted to that entity under this Agreement for that Contribution or
+   Work shall terminate as of the date such litigation is filed.
+
+4. You represent that You are legally entitled to grant the above
+   license.
+
+   You represent further that each employee of the Corporation 
+   designated on Schedule A below (or in a subsequent written
+   modification to that Schedule) is authorized to submit
+   Contributions on behalf of the Corporation.
+
+5. You represent that each of Your Contributions is Your original
+   creation (see section 7 for submissions on behalf of others).
+
+6. You are not expected to provide support for Your Contributions,
+   except to the extent You desire to provide support. You may provide
+   support for free, for a fee, or not at all. Unless required by
+   applicable law or agreed to in writing, You provide Your
+   Contributions on an "AS IS" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS
+   OF ANY KIND, either express or implied, including, without
+   limitation, any warranties or conditions of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT,
+   MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
+
+7. Should You wish to submit work that is not Your original creation,
+   You may submit it to IBM separately from any
+   Contribution, identifying the complete details of its source and
+   of any license or other restriction (including, but not limited
+   to, related patents, trademarks, and license agreements) of which
+   you are personally aware, and conspicuously marking the work as
+   "Submitted on behalf of a third-party: [named here]".
+
+8. It is your responsibility to notify IBM when any change
+   is required to the list of designated employees authorized to submit
+   Contributions on behalf of the Corporation, or to the Corporation's
+   Point of Contact with IBM.
