## 5. CONTRIBUTIONS
|

|
||||
If you want to contribute to this project, it is required, that you (contributor)
|
||||
fill and digitally sign document [Contributor License Agreement](CLA/Contributor_License_Agreement.pdf),
|
||||
because I want to have a freedom to do whatever I want with my library, without obligation
|
||||
to someone else. But I would strongly prefer, if you want to contribute, to contribute
|
||||
in a form of testing, consultation, giving advices etc. I would like to write this library
|
||||
entirely by myself.
|
||||
Contributions are welcome!
|
||||
|
||||
