+Copyright Assignment Agreement (https://taler.net/pdf/copyright.pdf)

+the collaborative development of the GNUnet and GNU Taler projects 
+(https://git.gnunet.org/gnunet-ev.git/tree/gnunet_taler_agreement.tex) is satisfied.
+
+The agreements ensure that the code will continue to be made available under free 
+software licenses, which gives developers the freedom to move code between GNUnet 
+and GNU Taler without worrying about licenses and the company the ability to 
+dual-license (for example, so that we can distribute via app-stores that are hostile 
+to free software).
+
+Minor contributions do not require copyright assignment (basically, anyone without Git access). 
+Pseudonymous contributions are accepted, in this case simply sign the agreement 
+with your pseudonym. Scanned copies are sufficient, but snail mail is preferred.
