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.
