| 1 | +# Individual Contributor License Agreement |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +In order to clarify the intellectual property license granted with Contributions from |
| 4 | +any person or entity, Paul Greenberg ("Project Owner") must have a Contributor License |
| 5 | +Agreement ("CLA") on file that has been signed by each Contributor, indicating agreement |
| 6 | +to the license terms below. This license is for your protection as a Contributor as well |
| 7 | +as the protection of Project Owner; it does not change your rights to use your own |
| 8 | +Contributions for any other purpose. |
| 9 | + |
| 10 | +You accept and agree to the following terms and conditions for Your present and future |
| 11 | +Contributions submitted to Project Owner. Except for the license granted herein to |
| 12 | +Project Owner and recipients of software distributed by Project Owner, You reserve |
| 13 | +all right, title, and interest in and to Your Contributions. |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +## Definitions |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +"You" (or "Your") shall mean the copyright owner or legal entity authorized by |
| 18 | +the copyright owner that is making this Agreement with Project Owner. For legal |
| 19 | +entities, the entity making a Contribution and all other entities that control, are |
| 20 | +controlled by, or are under common control with that entity are considered to be a single |
| 21 | +Contributor. For the purposes of this definition, "control" means (i) the power, direct |
| 22 | +or indirect, to cause the direction or management of such entity, whether by contract |
| 23 | +or otherwise, or (ii) ownership of fifty percent (50%) or more of the outstanding |
| 24 | +shares, or (iii) beneficial ownership of such entity. |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | +"Contribution" shall mean any original work of authorship, including any modifications |
| 27 | +or additions to an existing work, that is intentionally submitted by You to Project |
| 28 | +Owner for inclusion in, or documentation of, any of the products owned or managed by |
| 29 | +Project Owner (the "Work"). For the purposes of this definition, "submitted" means any |
| 30 | +form of electronic, verbal, or written communication sent to Project Owner or its |
| 31 | +representatives, including but not limited to communication on electronic mailing lists, |
| 32 | +source code control systems, and issue tracking systems that are managed by, or on |
| 33 | +behalf of, Project Owner for the purpose of discussing and improving the Work, but |
| 34 | +excluding communication that is conspicuously marked or otherwise designated in writing |
| 35 | +by You as "Not a Contribution." |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | +## Grant of Copyright License |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, You hereby grant to Project |
| 40 | +Owner and to recipients of software distributed by Project Owner a perpetual, |
| 41 | +worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable copyright license |
| 42 | +to reproduce, prepare derivative works of, publicly display, publicly perform, |
| 43 | +sublicense, and distribute Your Contributions and such derivative works. |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | +## Grant of Patent License |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | +Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, You hereby grant to Project |
| 48 | +Owner and to recipients of software distributed by Project Owner a perpetual, |
| 49 | +worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable (except as stated in |
| 50 | +this section) patent license to make, have made, use, offer to sell, sell, import, |
| 51 | +and otherwise transfer the Work, where such license applies only to those patent |
| 52 | +claims licensable by You that are necessarily infringed by Your Contribution(s) |
| 53 | +alone or by combination of Your Contribution(s) with the Work to which such |
| 54 | +Contribution(s) was submitted. If any entity institutes patent litigation against |
| 55 | +You or any other entity (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) |
| 56 | +alleging that your Contribution, or the Work to which you have contributed, |
| 57 | +constitutes direct or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses |
| 58 | +granted to that entity under this Agreement for that Contribution or Work shall |
| 59 | +terminate as of the date such litigation is filed. |
| 60 | + |
| 61 | +## Miscellaneous |
| 62 | + |
| 63 | +1. You represent that you are legally entitled to grant the above license. If your |
| 64 | +employer(s) has rights to intellectual property that you create that includes |
| 65 | +your Contributions, you represent that you have received permission to make |
| 66 | +Contributions on behalf of that employer, that your employer has waived such |
| 67 | +rights for your Contributions to Project Owner, or that your employer has |
| 68 | +executed a separate Corporate CLA with Project Owner. |
| 69 | + |
| 70 | +2. You represent that each of Your Contributions is Your original creation |
| 71 | +(see section 4 for submissions on behalf of others). You represent that Your |
| 72 | +Contribution submissions include complete details of any third-party license |
| 73 | +or other restriction (including, but not limited to, related patents and trademarks) |
| 74 | +of which you are personally aware and which are associated with any part of Your |
| 75 | +Contributions. |
| 76 | + |
| 77 | +3. You are not expected to provide support for Your Contributions, except to |
| 78 | +the extent You desire to provide support. You may provide support for free, |
| 79 | +for a fee, or not at all. Unless required by applicable law or agreed to in |
| 80 | +writing, You provide Your Contributions on an "AS IS" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES |
| 81 | +OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or implied, including, without |
| 82 | +limitation, any warranties or conditions of TITLE, NON- INFRINGEMENT, |
| 83 | +MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. |
| 84 | + |
| 85 | +4. Should You wish to submit work that is not Your original creation, You may |
| 86 | +submit it to Project Owner separately from any Contribution, identifying the |
| 87 | +complete details of its source and of any license or other restriction (including, |
| 88 | +but not limited to, related patents, trademarks, and license agreements) of |
| 89 | +which you are personally aware, and conspicuously marking the work as |
| 90 | +"Submitted on behalf of a third-party: [named here]". |
| 91 | + |
| 92 | +5. You agree to notify Project Owner of any facts or circumstances of |
| 93 | +which you become aware that would make these representations inaccurate |
| 94 | +in any respect. |
