Sadly he may not be able to. But more importantly any contribution that comes with that footer attached becomes hard to accept because it contradicts any license you may attach to the code. As such I'd say that you'd probably need to get a Contributor License Agreement on file in order to contribute this code: http://www.apache.org/licenses/ However, I agree with Daniel's other point that I don't think this is sufficiently generic enough to warrant committing to our repo. We do now have a script intended to make it easy to apply specific rules to certain files: http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion/trunk/tools/hook-scripts/validate-files.py So in this case I'd probably configure that tool to use some subset of what is in your script to do the specific tests you want (tab, eol-style, etc).
