# Contributor Licence Agreement (CLA)

We ask every contributor to sign a Contributor Licence Agreement before
we can merge a pull request. The CLA does **not** transfer copyright —
you keep full ownership of your work. It simply grants the TrustGraph
project a perpetual, royalty-free licence to distribute your
contribution under the project's
[Apache 2.0 licence](https://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0), and
confirms that you have the right to make the contribution. This protects
both the project and its users by ensuring every contribution has a
clear legal footing.

When you open a pull request, the CLA bot will post a comment asking you
to review and sign the appropriate agreement — it only takes a moment
and you only need to do it once across all TrustGraph repositories.

- Contributing as an **individual**? Sign the [Individual CLA](https://github.com/trustgraph-ai/contributor-license-agreement/blob/main/Fiduciary-Contributor-License-Agreement.md)
- Contributing on behalf of a **company or organisation**? Sign the [Entity CLA](https://github.com/trustgraph-ai/contributor-license-agreement/blob/main/Entity-Fiduciary-Contributor-License-Agreement.md)
