@ -32,6 +32,7 @@ Before adding a new package, please consider the following questions:
* Does the project have a clear license statement? Remember that software is unfree by default (all rights reserved), and merely providing access to the source code does not imply its redistribution. In case of doubt, ask upstream.
* How realistic is it that it will be used by other people? It's good that nixpkgs caters to various niches, but if it's a niche of 5 people it's probably too small.
* Are you willing to maintain the package? You should care enough about the package to be willing to keep it up and running for at least one complete Nixpkgs' release life-cycle.
* In case you are not able to maintain the package you wrote, you can seek someone to fill that role, effectively adopting the package.
If any of these questions' answer is no, then you should probably not add the package.
