    2 Rules set forth hereunder are meant for discussion, but might become binding for contributions on plugin authors and maintainers discretion. We're thinking about setting similar constraints for all contributions to this site to prevent potentially dangerous legal ambiguity for all hosted content, as soon as a broad agreement among currently active developers has been reached.

    7 Developers, that register a new hack ensure, that each hack has a valid license attached to it, and that code changes match the respective license. In absence of an explicit license we assume, that the license of the underlying framework applies, always meaning the latest t:TracLicense. However this is only meant as a starting-point, if such license-free code is encountered the first time, especially with older contributions predating this set of rules.
