[8.x-1.x] Better Links

Thank you for applying!

Please read Review process for security advisory coverage: What to expect → for more details and Security advisory coverage application checklist → to understand what reviewers look for. Tips for ensuring a smooth review → gives some hints for a smoother review.

The important notes are the following.

• If you have not done it yet, you should run phpcs --standard=Drupal,DrupalPractice on the project, which alone fixes most of what reviewers would report.
• For the time this application is open, only your commits are allowed.
• The purpose of this application is giving you a new drupal.org role that allows you to opt projects into security advisory coverage, either projects you already created, or projects you will create. The project status won't be changed by this application and no other user will be able to opt projects into security advisory policy.
• We only accept an application per user. If you change your mind about the project to use for this application, or it is necessary to use a different project for the application, please update the issue summary with the link to the correct project and the issue title with the project name and the branch to review.

To the reviewers

Please read How to review security advisory coverage applications → , Application workflow → , What to cover in an application review → , and Tools to use for reviews → .

The important notes are the following.

• It is preferable to wait for a Code Review Administrator before commenting on newly created applications. Code Review Administrators will do some preliminary checks that are necessary before any change on the project files is suggested.
• Reviewers should show the output of a CLI tool → only once per application.
• It may be best to have the applicant fix things before further review.

For new reviewers, I would also suggest to first read In which way the issue queue for coverage applications is different from other project queues → .

There is no 2.0.x branch. Please specify an existing branch for review.

For these applications, we need a project where, in at least a branch, most of the commits (but preferably all the commits) have been done from the person who created the application.
The purpose of these applications is reviewing a project to understand what the person who applies understands about writing secure code which follows the Drupal coding standards and correctly uses the Drupal API, not what all the project maintainers collectively understand about those points.

This application can only continue with a project (and a branch) where all the commits (or the majority of the commits) have been done by you.

Projects hosted on drupal.org are licensed under GPLv2+, the same license used from Drupal core. If you are licensing a project under a different license, it cannot he hosted on drupal.org. More details are given in Drupal Git Contributor Agreement & Repository Usage Policy → .

All code that is a derivative work of Drupal (typically PHP code, including but not limited to: core patches, modules, themes, etc) committed to Drupal.org's git repository is licensed as GPL version 2.0 and later (official short identifier: “GPL-2.0-or-later”). This means that the code is licensed under GPLv2, and there exists an option that allows downstream recipients to re-license the code to be under a later version of GPL.

All code submitted to the repository that is a derivative work of Drupal must be and it will automatically be redistributed as GPL-2.0-or-later.

Any code that is not GPL-2.0-or-later compatible or granted an exception by the LWG should not be added to the repository and when found will be removed.

See also If I write a module or theme, do I have to license it under the GPL? →

Yes. Drupal modules and themes are a derivative work of Drupal. If you distribute them, you must do so under the terms of the GPL version 2 or later. You are not required to distribute them at all, however.

For code licensed under GPLv3, see I want to release my work under GPL version 3 or under GPL version 2-only. Can I do so and host it on Drupal.org? →

No. You can release your work under any GPL version 2 or later compatible license. However, you may only check it into Drupal's Git repositories if you are releasing it under the same license as Drupal itself, that is GPL version 2 or later, allowing users to choose between the terms of the GPL version 2 or the terms in any new versions as updated by the FSF. If you are unable or unwilling to do so, do not check it into a Drupal Git repository.
