Software Grant and Contributor License Agreement ("Agreement") | |
This document is based on the Apache Contributor License Agreements. | |
Thank you for your interest in open source software projects of Batteries Included (“Company”). In order to clarify the intellectual property license granted with Contributions from any person or entity, Company wishes to have a Contributor License Agreement (CLA) 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 Company and its users; it does not change your rights to use your own Contributions for any other purpose. | |
This version of the Agreement allows an entity or individual (the "Contributor") to submit Contributions to Company, to authorize Contributions submitted by its designated employees to Company, and to grant copyright and patent licenses thereto. | |
You accept and agree to the following terms and conditions for Your present and future Contributions submitted to Company. Except for the license granted herein to Company and recipients of software distributed by Company, You reserve all right, title, and interest in and to Your Contributions. | |
1. Definitions. | |
"You" (or "Your") shall mean the copyright owner or legal entity authorized by the copyright owner that is making this Agreement with Company. For legal entities, the entity making a Contribution and all other entities that control, are controlled by, or are under common control with that entity are considered to be a single Contributor. For the purposes of this definition, "control" means (i) the power, direct or indirect, to cause the direction or management of such entity, whether by contract or otherwise, or (ii) ownership of fifty percent (50%) or more of the outstanding shares, or (iii) beneficial ownership of such entity. | |
"Contribution" shall mean the code, documentation or other original works of authorship that is intentionally submitted by You to Company for inclusion in, or documentation of, any of the products owned or managed by Company(the "Work"). For the purposes of this definition, "submitted" means any form of electronic, verbal, or written communication sent to Company 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, Company 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 Company and to recipients of software distributed by Company 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 Company and to recipients of software distributed by Company 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) were 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 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 Company, or that your employer has executed a separate Corporate CLA with Company. | |
5. You represent that each of Your Contributions is Your original creation. | |
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, You provide Your Contributions on an "AS IS" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS | |
OF ANY KIND, either express or implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. |
