## Apache Contributor Agreements

HugeGraph uses the standard Apache Software Foundation (ASF) contributor agreements. It no longer uses a project-specific CLA or the GitHub CLA Assistant workflow.

Routine, small contributions are submitted under Section 5 of the Apache License 2.0. Before becoming a committer, or when making a substantial contribution, you must sign the ASF Individual Contributor License Agreement (ICLA). If a company owns the intellectual property in your contribution, a Corporate Contributor License Agreement (CCLA) may also be required; a CCLA does not replace your individual ICLA.

Refer to the official ASF pages for the agreement text, completion instructions, and submission process:

- [ASF Contributor Agreements](https://www.apache.org/licenses/contributor-agreements.html)
- [Individual Contributor License Agreement](https://www.apache.org/licenses/icla.pdf)

After reading and signing the agreement as instructed, send the completed file as a standalone attachment to `secretary@apache.org`. Do not send it to the HugeGraph developer mailing list or commit it to a GitHub repository.
