We are a community developed distribution, and we believe that it is the responsibility of the person who wants a new feature to develop and contribute that feature. If you would like to add something to JELOS, pull requests are welcomed. Please review our [code of conduct](contribute/code-of-conduct.md), our [contributing guidelines](contribute/index.md), and our [build guide](contribute/build.md) before submitting your first pull request.
### Licensing JELOS for redistribution
JELOS utilizes a non-commercial CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 copyleft license on our branding which is intended to prevent abuse of our software. Device Makers and others who would like to bundle on devices may not do so without our express permission.
#### Redistribution Authorization Requirements
If you would like to receive permission from our project to redistribute JELOS, you must request permission in writing. We can be reached at contact@jelos.org.
##### Benefits
Authorization to use our branding will allow you to distribute JELOS on your device without needing to maintain a fork of the project for your device. This would include access to our online update feature.
##### Minimum Requirements
To receive permission to redistribute JELOS the following *minimum* criteria must be met. Please note, that taking these actions without formally receiving approval from our project does not grant you the authority to use our branding. You MUST receive approval from JELOS.
1. We receive sources for device(s) before they ship to consumers and we have irrevokable authority to publish at our leisure. We strongly prefer device makers contribute changes to support their device(s) directly to the distribution themselves.
2. Provide, upon request, device samples for every JELOS team member (including core developers, moderation team, and outside contributors), as well as any community developer designated by JELOS, for all devices planned, supported by, or bundled with JELOS for as long as the device maker manufactures the device.
3. It is up to the requestor to secure distribution rights for software included with JELOS that is not developed or owned by JELOS.
4. A support representative must join and participate in our community to support their device(s).

##### Selling JELOS
JELOS branding is licensed for non-commercial use only. Even if approved to be distributed on a device, it is not allowed to be sold or included as an up charge in any form what-so-ever. Period. This is not negotiable.
