+### Copyright Assignment
+
+Swiper is subject to the same [copyright 
assignment](http://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/html_node/Copyright-Papers.html) 
policy as Emacs itself, org-mode, CEDET and other packages in [GNU 
ELPA](http://elpa.gnu.org/packages/). Any [legally 
significant](http://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/html_node/Legally-Significant.html#Legally-Significant)
 contributions can only be accepted after the author has completed their 
paperwork. Please see [the request 
form](http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/gnulib. [...]
+
+The copyright assignment isn't a big deal, it just says that the copyright for 
your submitted changes to Emacs belongs to the FSF. This assignment works for 
all projects related to Emacs. To obtain it, you need to send one email, then 
send one letter (if you live in the US, it's digital), and wait for some time 
(in my case, I had to wait for one month).
+
+### Style
+
+The basic code style guide is to use `(setq indent-tabs-mode nil)`. It is 
provided for you in 
[.dir-locals.el](https://github.com/abo-abo/swiper/blob/master/.dir-locals.el), 
please obey it.
+
+Before submitting the change, run `make compile` and `make test` to make sure 
that it doesn't introduce new compile warnings or test failures. Also run 
<kbd>M-x</kbd> `checkdoc` to see that your changes obey the documentation 
guidelines.
+
+Use your own judgment for the commit messages, I recommend a verbose style 
using `magit-commit-add-log`.
