# Contributing

Thanks for your interest in improving Kanera.

## License

Kanera is source-available under the Elastic License 2.0 (ELv2). By contributing to this repository, you agree that your contribution will be licensed under the same license unless the project maintainers explicitly agree otherwise in writing.

## Contribution Terms

By submitting a pull request, patch, issue comment with code, or any other contribution, you certify that:

- you have the right to submit the contribution;
- the contribution is your original work, or you have permission to submit it;
- your contribution does not knowingly include code or content that conflicts with this project's license;
- you grant Happen Software Limited a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, modify, distribute, publicly perform, publicly display, sublicense, and relicense your contribution as part of Kanera.

These terms allow the project owner to maintain Kanera, publish releases, and offer separate commercial licenses where appropriate.

These contribution terms are intentionally broad because Kanera is source-available rather than OSI open source. If your employer requires a different contributor agreement, contact the maintainers before starting substantial work.

## Commercial Use

The software may be used internally by individuals and businesses, including self-hosting. However, you may not provide Kanera to third parties as a hosted or managed service. See LICENSE for full details.

## Trademarks

Contributions do not grant rights to use the Kanera name, logos, or brand assets. See TRADEMARKS.md.

## Conduct

Be respectful, constructive, and patient with other contributors and users. Harassment, personal attacks, discriminatory language, or repeated bad-faith participation are not welcome in Kanera project spaces. Maintainers may moderate issues, pull requests, discussions, or other project channels to keep them useful and safe.

## Support

Community support is best-effort through GitHub issues or discussions when those channels are enabled. Please use security reporting for vulnerabilities instead of public issues. Commercial support, hosted-service support, private roadmap commitments, and custom licensing are handled separately by Happen Software Limited.

## Development

Before contributing code, please read README.md and follow the repository's existing architecture and conventions.
