0042 ====================
0043
0044 Maintainers are responsible for clarifying the standards of acceptable behavior
0045 and are expected to take appropriate and fair corrective action in response to
0046 any instances of unacceptable behavior.
0047
0048 Maintainers have the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or reject
0049 comments, commits, code, wiki edits, issues, and other contributions that are
0050 not aligned to this Code of Conduct, or to ban temporarily or permanently any
0051 contributor for other behaviors that they deem inappropriate, threatening,
0052 offensive, or harmful.
0053
0054 Scope
0055 =====
0056
0057 This Code of Conduct applies both within project spaces and in public spaces
0058 when an individual is representing the project or its community. Examples of
0059 representing a project or community include using an official project e-mail
0060 address, posting via an official social media account, or acting as an appointed
0061 representative at an online or offline event. Representation of a project may be
0062 further defined and clarified by project maintainers.
0063
0064 Enforcement
0065 ===========
0066
0067 Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be
0068 reported by contacting the Code of Conduct Committee at
0069 <conduct@kernel.org>. All complaints will be reviewed and investigated
0070 and will result in a response that is deemed necessary and appropriate
0071 to the circumstances. The Code of Conduct Committee is obligated to
0072 maintain confidentiality with regard to the reporter of an incident.
0073 Further details of specific enforcement policies may be posted
0074 separately.
