Re: RES: [dsdp-mtj-dev] Symbol Set definition from antenna

Hi Ales,

Gustavo already gave you all the right technical answers, describing the 
high level process.

Please feel free to implement the feature, if you need any help to 
understand the code, use this mailing list, and we'll help you as much 
as we can.
If you find areas that are not well documented, feel free to add 
comments as well!  :-)


Once you have tested your code, and want to submit it, the process is 
that - you cannot check it into SVN directly.
You will have to create the patch and submit it using "Eclipse Bugzilla".

If you have any problems understanding the process - please ask for help 
here!



One overall suggestion I want to make for this: Since you mentioned that 
you have not contributed to an Open Source project,
please let me highlight one particular important issue:

Copyright and Intellectual Property.

There is two main concerns.

1) Eclipse Code (which includes MTJ) is created under the the terms of 
the "Eclipse Public License" (EPL).
Basically this means:  Whatever code you write and contribute will be 
re-distributed under this license, and when you
submit the "patch" using Bugzilla, you will have to agree to the "terms 
and conditions" of the EPL.

The EPL is a very "friendly" license and restricts in no way what you 
yourself can do with your work.

The only "problem" is - The EPL is not compatible with the GNU Public 
License (GPL).

Therefore - if you use any other code in your Patch - for example, you 
"Copy and Paste" an example from an
online tutorial, or you "copy and paste" from an other Open Source 
software....
.... you have to be VERY careful that you do not violate any license.

My recommendation: *Please do NOT copy and paste from any other code/text.*

IF you need any other software, e.g. libraries etc, please let us know, 
we can discuss it, and with the help of Eclipse
Legal team decide to use those libraries.

We all are working VERY hard to keep the Eclipse source code free from 
any code which is not compatible with the EPL.



2) Your Employer: Please do also NOT re-use any code which you have 
created as part of your "employment", for your
"real" job.
Your employer typically has policies and procedures how you can 
contribute to Open Source.
Please make sure you know and follow all your employers processes.


I hope this is helpful for you, and WELCOME to the project!
:)


-Christian
