[ANNOUNCEMENT] New procedure for code contributions to the Cygwin sources


Hi folks,


as mentioned in https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-announce/2016-06/msg00048.html
the procedure for contributions to the Cygwin sources has been much
simplified.

If you already have the former Cygwin Copyright Assignment signed and
submitted, you're all set.

Otherwise, just make a public statement that you provide your patches to
the Cygwin sources under the 2-clause BSD license.

You can do that, for instance, with your first patch submission.  After
your first patch has been approved and applied, your name and email
address will be added to the new winsup/CONTRIBUTORS file.  That's all.

For the wording of the 2-clause BSD license, see the winsup/CONTRIBUTORS
file.

Contributions to the newlib sources are still exempt from this procedure.
