* Only a single process (possibly multi-threaded) can access a particular database at a time.

+# Contributing to the leveldb Project
+The leveldb project welcomes contributions. leveldb's primary goal is to be
+a reliable and fast key/value store. Changes that are in line with the
+features/limitations outlined above, and meet the requirements below,
+will be considered.
+
+Contribution requirements:
+
+1. **POSIX only**. We _generally_ will only accept changes that are both
+ compiled, and tested on a POSIX platform - usually Linux. Very small
+ changes will sometimes be accepted, but consider that more of an
+ exception than the rule.
+
+2. **Stable API**. We strive very hard to maintain a stable API. Changes that
+ require changes for projects using leveldb _might_ be rejected without
+ sufficient benefit to the project.
+
+3. **Tests**: All changes must be accompanied by a new (or changed) test, or
+ a sufficient explanation as to why a new (or changed) test is not required.
+
+## Submitting a Pull Request
+Before any pull request will be accepted the author must first sign a
+Contributor License Agreement (CLA) at https://cla.developers.google.com/.
+
+In order to keep the commit timeline linear
+[squash](https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Tools-Rewriting-History#Squashing-Commits)
+your changes down to a single commit and [rebase](https://git-scm.com/docs/git-rebase)
+on google/leveldb/master. This keeps the commit timeline linear and more easily sync'ed
+with the internal repository at Google. More information at GitHub's
