Dear PJSIP developers, I have a question concerning the Contributor Agreement (http://trac.pjsip.org/repos/wiki/ContributionAgreement). I have a build problem in PJSIP and found a patch to fix it on the repository of another open source project. The original author does not seem to be interested in mainlining their fix. I would like to send myself the patch but I'm not sure I'm allowed to do it because of the following sentence in the agreement: > With respect to your contribution, you represent that: [...] > it is an original work In this case I cannot state it is an original work. And if my understanding is correct it would be illegal to apply the fix under the agreement, unless the original author wants to submit it. Am I correct? How can I have the fix in upstream? Thanks, -- Luca

Hi Luca, You can obtain a written permission from the original author. Alternatively, you can rewrite your own solution to the problem, hence making it your original work.

 Dear PJSIP developers,

 I have a question concerning the Contributor Agreement
 (http://trac.pjsip.org/repos/wiki/ContributionAgreement).

 I have a build problem in PJSIP and found a patch to fix it on the
 repository of another open source project. The original author does not
 seem to be interested in mainlining their fix.

 I would like to send myself the patch but I'm not sure I'm allowed to do
 it because of the following sentence in the agreement:

 In this case I cannot state it is an original work. And if my
 understanding is correct it would be illegal to apply the fix under the
 agreement, unless the original author wants to submit it.

 Am I correct?

 How can I have the fix in upstream?

 Thanks,
 --
 Luca
