! Contributor License Agreement

Like other OpenSource projects, TiddlyWiki5 needs a signed contributor license agreement from individual contributors. This is a legal agreement that allows contributors  to assert that they own the copyright of their contribution, and that they agree to license it to the UnaMesa Association (the legal entity that owns TiddlyWiki on behalf of the community).

* For individuals use: [[licenses/CLA-individual|https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/tree/master/licenses/cla-individual.md]]
* For entities use: [[licenses/CLA-entity|https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/tree/master/licenses/cla-entity.md]]

! How to sign the CLA

Create a GitHub pull request to add your name to `cla-individual.md` or `cla-entity.md`, with the date in the format (YYYY/MM/DD).

''step by step''
