The imputed license is a matter of legal significance; for that reason, it should be differentiated (set apart and italicized should serve).

## Submitting your contributions

The Julia team uses [GitHub issues](https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues) to track and discuss problems, feature requests, and pull requests. By contributing code to Julia, you are agreeing to release it under the [MIT License](https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/tree/master/LICENSE.md).
The Julia team uses [GitHub issues](https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues) to track and discuss problems, feature requests, and pull requests.

You can make pull requests for incomplete features to get code review, in which case we have a convention of prefixing the pull request title with "RFC:" to indicate that the work is incomplete so it doesn't accidentally get merged into the master branch before it's ready.

Before submitting, make sure that all tests pass by running `make testall`. Even better, add your own tests for your change or feature to the test files in `tests/`. If your contribution includes changes to Makefiles or external dependencies, make sure you can build Julia from a clean tree using `git clean -fdx` or equivalent (be careful – this command will delete any files lying around that aren't checked into git).

## Getting help

While getting familiar with Julia, remember to check out [the docs](http:https://docs.julialang.org/en/latest/), keeping in mind that they are [searchable](http:https://docs.julialang.org/en/latest/search/). (If you use a script blocker then you'll have to unblock that page.) The [source code](https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia) is an excellent source of examples (and it's mostly pretty approachable). If you're still stumped, post something on [the dev list](https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!forum/julia-dev), but you may want to search the archives first to see if there's already been a discussion about what you're stuck on.
