-# Code of Conduct
+## Our Pledge
 
-This code of conduct outlines expectations for participation in the Semmle open source community, including any open source repositories on GitHub.com, as well as steps for reporting unacceptable behavior. We are committed to providing a welcoming and inspiring community for all.
+We as members, contributors, and leaders pledge to make participation in our
+community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body
+size, visible or invisible disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender
+identity and expression, level of experience, education, socio-economic status,
+nationality, personal appearance, race, religion, or sexual identity
+and orientation.
 
-People violating this code of conduct may be banned from the community.
+We pledge to act and interact in ways that contribute to an open, welcoming,
+diverse, inclusive, and healthy community.
 
-Our community strives to:
-* Be friendly and patient: Remember you might not be communicating in someone else’s primary spoken or programming language, and others may not have your level of understanding.
-* Be welcoming: Our community welcomes and supports people of all backgrounds and identities. This includes, but is not limited to members of any race, ethnicity, culture, national origin, color, immigration status, social and economic class, educational level, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, age, size, family status, political belief, religion, and mental and physical ability.
-* Be respectful: We are a world-wide community of professionals, and we conduct ourselves professionally. Disagreement is no excuse for poor behavior and poor manners. Disrespectful and unacceptable behavior includes, but is not limited to:
-  * Violent threats or language.
-  * Discriminatory or derogatory jokes and language.
-  * Posting sexually explicit or violent material.
-  * Posting, or threatening to post, people’s personally identifying information (“doxing”).
-  * Insults, especially those using discriminatory terms or slurs.
-  * Behavior that could be perceived as sexual attention.
-  * Advocating for or encouraging any of the above behaviors.
-* Understand disagreements: Disagreements, both social and technical, are useful learning opportunities. Seek to understand others’ viewpoints and resolve differences constructively.
+## Our Standards
 
-This code is not exhaustive or complete. It serves to capture our common understanding of a productive, collaborative environment. We expect the code to be followed in spirit as much as in the letter.
+Examples of behavior that contributes to a positive environment for our
+community include:
 
-# Scope
+* Demonstrating empathy and kindness toward other people
+* Being respectful of differing opinions, viewpoints, and experiences
+* Giving and gracefully accepting constructive feedback
+* Accepting responsibility and apologizing to those affected by our mistakes,
+  and learning from the experience
+* Focusing on what is best not just for us as individuals, but for the
+  overall community
 
-This code of conduct applies to all repositories and communities for Semmle open source projects, regardless of whether or not the repository explicitly calls out its use of this code. The code also applies in public spaces when an individual is representing the Semmle open source community. Examples include using an official project email address, posting via an official social media account, or acting as an appointed representative at an online or offline event. 
+Examples of unacceptable behavior include:
 
+* The use of sexualized language or imagery, and sexual attention or
+  advances of any kind
+* Trolling, insulting or derogatory comments, and personal or political attacks
+* Public or private harassment
+* Publishing others' private information, such as a physical or email
+  address, without their explicit permission
+* Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a
+  professional setting
 
-# Reporting Code of Conduct Issues
-We encourage members of the community to resolve issues on their own whenever possible. This builds a broader and deeper understanding and ultimately a healthier interaction. In the event that an issue cannot be resolved locally, please feel free to report your concerns by contacting code-of-conduct@semmle.com. 
-In your report please include:
-* Your contact information.
-* Names (real, usernames or pseudonyms) of any individuals involved. If there are additional witnesses, please include them as well.
-* Your account of what occurred, and if you believe the incident is ongoing. If there is a publicly available record (e.g. a mailing list archive or a public chat log), please include a link or attachment.
-* Any additional information that may be helpful.
+## Enforcement Responsibilities
 
-All reports will be reviewed by a multi-person team and will result in a response that is deemed necessary and appropriate to the circumstances. Where additional perspectives are needed, the team may seek insight from others with relevant expertise or experience. The confidentiality of the person reporting the incident will be kept at all times. Involved parties are never part of the review team.
+Community leaders are responsible for clarifying and enforcing our standards of
+acceptable behavior and will take appropriate and fair corrective action in
+response to any behavior that they deem inappropriate, threatening, offensive,
+or harmful.
 
-Anyone asked to stop unacceptable behavior is expected to comply immediately. If an individual engages in unacceptable behavior, the review team may take any action they deem appropriate, including a permanent ban from the community.
+Community leaders have the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or reject
+comments, commits, code, wiki edits, issues, and other contributions that are
+not aligned to this Code of Conduct, and will communicate reasons for moderation
+decisions when appropriate.
