-This directory contains code from third-party projects used by Carbon. Code

+The `/third_party` directory is for any code that doesn't follow Carbon's normal
|
|
|
+contribution rules, and thus requires special care. The intent is that code
|
|
|
+_not_ under `/third_party` should not require special contribution rules.

|
|
|
+Examples of code belonging under `/third_party` include:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+- Code not licensed under the standard
|
|
|
+ [Apache-2.0 WITH LLVM-exception license](/LICENSE).
|
|
|
+- Code which is maintained externally or imported from another repository.
|
|
|
+- Code which is not fully under
|
|
|
+ [Carbon's CLA](/CONTRIBUTING.md#contributor-license-agreements-clas).
