+                        CVS Development Policies
+
+This file, DEVEL-CVS, contains the policies by which the CVS
+development group operates.  Also see the HACKING file.
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------------
+Policies regarding the CVS source repository:
+
+By checking items into the repository, developers agree to permit
+distribution of such items under the terms of the GNU Public License.
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------------
+Procedure for dealing with people who want to be developers:
+
+People who want checkin access are first requested to send
+patches and have them reviewed by a developer.  If they submit some
+good ones (preferably over a period of time, to demonstrate sustained
+interest), then one of the developers can ask the devel-cvs mailing
+list whether it is OK to make this person a developer (after first
+sending the prospective developer a copy of this file and then having
+the prospective developer say they want to be a developer).  If there
+are no objections, the person will be made a developer.
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------------
+Policy regarding checkout-only access:
+
+Checkout-only access to the CVS repository is available to all, on an
+anonymous basis (no need for registration or other complications).
+The exact technical mechanisms by which it is available are not
+covered by this policy.
