| BROOKLYN PROJECT |
| |
| Individual Contributor License Agreement |
| |
| In order to clarify the intellectual property license granted with |
| Contributions from any person, the Brooklyn Project (the "Project") must |
| have an Individual Contributor License Agreement ("Agreement") on file that |
| has been signed by each Contributor, indicating agreement to the license |
| terms below. This license is for your protection as a Contributor as well |
| as the protection of Cloudsoft Corporation Limited as Project Manager (the |
| "Project Manager") and the Project users; it does not change your rights to |
| use your own Contributions for any other purpose |
| |
| If you have not already done so, please complete and sign this |
| Individual Contributor License Agreement by following the instructions |
| embedded below. After you fill in the required information and apply |
| your digital signature to the Agreement, the signature service will |
| generate an email to you. You must confirm your digital signature as |
| instructed in this email to complete the signing process. The signature |
| service will then send you a signed copy of this Agreement for your |
| records. |
| |
| You accept and agree to the following terms and conditions for your present |
| and future Contributions submitted to the Project Manager. Except for the |
| license granted herein to the Project Manager and recipients of software |
| distributed by the Project Manager, you reserve all right, title, and |
| interest in and to your Contributions. |
| |
| |
| 1. Definitions |
| |
| "You" (or "Your") (whether or not capitalized) shall mean the individual |
| copyright owner or legal entity authorized by the copyright owner that |
| is making this Agreement with the Project Manager. |
| |
| "Contribution" shall mean any original work of authorship, including any |
| modifications or additions to an existing work, which is intentionally |
| submitted by you to the Project Manager for inclusion in, or |
| documentation of, any of the open source projects owned or managed by |
| the Project Manager (the "Work"). For the purposes of this definition, |
| "submitted" means any form of electronic, verbal, or written |
| communication sent to the Project Manager or its representatives, |
| including but not limited to communication on electronic mailing lists, |
| source code control systems, and issue tracking systems that are managed |
| by, or on behalf of, the Project Manager for the purpose of discussing |
| and improving the Work, but excluding communication that is |
| conspicuously marked or otherwise designated in writing by you as "Not |
| a Contribution." |
| |
| 2. Grant of Copyright License |
| |
| Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, you hereby grant |
| to the Project Manager and to recipients of software distributed by the |
| Project Manager a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, |
| royalty-free, irrevocable copyright license to reproduce, prepare |
| derivative works of, publicly display, publicly perform, sublicense, and |
| distribute your Contributions and such derivative works. |
| |
| 3. Grant of Patent License. Subject to the terms and conditions of this |
| Agreement, you hereby grant to the Project Manager and to recipients of |
| software distributed by the Project Manager a perpetual, worldwide, |
| non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable (except as stated in |
| this section) patent license to make, have made, use, offer to sell, |
| sell, import, and otherwise transfer the Work, where such license |
| applies only to those patent claims licensable by you that are |
| necessarily infringed by your Contribution(s) alone or by combination of |
| your Contribution(s) with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was |
| submitted. If any entity institutes patent litigation against you or any |
| other entity (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) |
| alleging that your Contribution, or the Work to which you have |
| contributed, constitutes direct or contributory patent infringement, |
| then any patent licenses granted to that entity under this Agreement for |
| that Contribution or Work shall terminate as of the date such litigation |
| is filed. |
| |
| 4. You represent that you are legally entitled to grant the above license. |
| If your employer(s) has rights to intellectual property that you create |
| that includes your Contributions, you represent that you have received |
| permission to make Contributions on behalf of that employer, that your |
| employer has waived such rights for your Contributions to the Project |
| Manager, or that your employer has executed a separate Corporate |
| Contributor License Agreement with the Project Manager. |
| |
| 5. You represent that each of your Contributions is your original creation |
| (see Section 7 for submissions on behalf other others). You represent |
| that your Contribution submissions include complete details of any |
| third-party license or other restriction (including, but not limited to, |
| related patents and trademarks) of which you are personally aware and |
| which are associated with any part of your Contributions. |
| |
| 6. You are not expected to provide support for your Contributions, except |
| to the extent you desire to provide support. You may provide support for |
| free, for a fee, or not at all. Unless required by applicable law or |
| agreed to in writing, and except for the express licenses and |
| representations in this Agreement, you provide your Contributions on as |
| "AS IS" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either |
| express or implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or |
| conditions of TITLE, NONINFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A |
| PARTICULAR PURPOSE. |
| |
| 7. Should you wish to submit work that is not your original creation, you |
| may submit it to the Project Manager separately from any Contribution, |
| identifying the complete details of its source and of any license or |
| other restriction (including, but not limited to, related patents, |
| trademarks, and license agreements) of which you are personally aware, |
| and conspicuously marking the work as "Submitted on behalf of a |
| third-party: [named here]". |
| |
| 8. You agree to notify the Project Manager of any facts or circumstances of |
| which you become aware that would make these representations inaccurate |
| in any respect. |
