Project information pages include a block that looks something like this:

[[Image:Contribute section.png]]
+
 
+
The very first paragraph contains a link to this page. Project-specific "how to contribute" pages provide a similar link.

+
==The Contribution==
+
 
+
The contribution must have the author field set to the contributor's credentials.
+
 
+
Further, the contribution my be "signed-off-by" the contributor using identical credentials; e.g.
+
Signed-off-by: Wayne Beaton <wayne@eclipse.org>
+
 
+
By signing off on a contribution, you assert that:
+
 
+
# I have authored 100% of the content I'm contributing
+
# I have the rights to donate the content to Eclipse
+
# I contribute the content under the EPL
