 ### Licensing
 
-By submitting code contributions to the sqlmap developers, to the mailing lists, or via Git pull request, checking them into the sqlmap source code repository, it is understood (unless you specify otherwise) that you are offering the sqlmap project the unlimited, non-exclusive right to reuse, modify, and relicense the code. sqlmap will always be available Open Source, but this is important because the inability to relicense code has caused devastating problems for other Free Software projects (such as KDE and NASM). If you wish to specify special license conditions of your contributions, just say so when you send them.
