Authorship
==========

1.  The asker must be an *author* or *maintainer*, and an *emotional owner* of the code.

        ..  tab:: Explanation

            -   If the author is not an *author* or *maintainer*;
                the author is unlikely to be able to legally license the code under the current *user contributions license*.

                As a site we don't want to encourage a situation where anyone will seek legal action against users of the site.
    
            -   If the author is not an *emotional owner*;
                the advice we give can be dismissed as someone else's mistake.
                
                As such the site would not be creating the learning environment we want.

        ..  tab:: Examples

            -   ..
                
                    I found some code on the internet; please review the code.
    
        ..  tab:: How to Fix

            The author should rewrite the code from scratch.
            Changing some variable names and reorganizing the code is not allowed.

2.  The asker must license the code under Code Review's current *user contributions license*.

        ..  tab:: Explanation

            By posting on Code Review you are licensing all contributions under the *user contributions license*.

            If the author don't post the code in the question then we as a site can't review the code.

3.  The asker must understand how the code works.
