Hey all, looking for feedback on https://sourceforge.net/p/brlcad/code/HEAD/tree/brlcad/trunk/doc/checklist.txt

Feel free to point out any mistakes, essential criteria missing, or items you think don't belong.

In my opinion, it needs some polishing. It's in the state between a list of criteria and a check list where I can tick the items.

For example, I'm already stuck in the first point 00. Are all changes legally compatible? Per COPYING, assigned or 0BSD/PD.. What shall I do here? Three checks come into my mind:

• Has the contributor consented to BRL-CAD's copyright and license?
• If it's a new file, does it have appropriate copyright and license header? (There should be a list of appropriate headers.)
• Has code taken from other projects a compatible license?

But it could be more.

thanks for the feedback, definitely do wanting a checklist that can be ticked and not subjective criteria

also trying to balance not having too many checklist entries, which is why legal was collapsed all into one item, and trying to avoid "if X then Y" checklist items that might not apply

updated the text of the first couple points to make them more testable and eliminate the conditional.
