Contribution Model. Under the .NET Foundation contribution model, a project retains ownership of the project, but grants .NET Foundation a broad license to the project’s code and other intellectual property. The project also confirms that the project’s submissions to .NET Foundation are its own original work (there are also instructions for any third party materials that might be included).

4. Repository Layout

The .NET Foundation host guidance for new projects and details on recommended structure here: https://github.com/dotnet/home/tree/master/guidance

Note that the open source repository should be the master where changes are made by the core development team using the same PR process that is used for non-committer contributions.
