# Individual Contributor License Agreement
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Thank you for your interest in Joplin Server, owned by Cozic Ltd (the
|
|
|
|
"Company"). In order to clarify the intellectual property license granted with
|
|
|
|
Contributions from any person or entity, the Company must 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 the Company and its
|
|
|
|
users; it does not change your rights to use your own Contributions for any
|
|
|
|
other purpose.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Please complete and sign this Agreement, and then email a copy to

You accept and agree to the following terms and conditions for Your present and
|
|
|
|
future Contributions submitted to the Company. In return, the Company shall not
|
|
|
|
use Your Contributions in a way that is contrary to the public benefit or
|
|
|
|
inconsistent with its bylaws in effect at the time of the Contribution. Except
|
|
|
|
for the license granted herein to the Company and recipients of software
|
|
|
|
distributed by the Company, You reserve all right, title, and interest in and to
|
|
|
|
Your Contributions.

|
|
1. Definitions.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* "You" (or "Your")
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"You" (or "Your") shall mean the copyright owner or legal entity authorized
|
|
|
|
by the copyright owner that is making this Agreement with the 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"
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Contribution" shall mean any original work of authorship, including any
|
|
|
|
modifications or additions to an existing work, that is intentionally
|
|
|
|
submitted by You to the Company for inclusion in, or documentation of, any
|
|
|
|
of the products owned or managed by the Company (the "Work"). For the
|
|
|
|
purposes of this definition, "submitted" means any form of electronic,
|
|
|
|
verbal, or written communication sent to the 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, the 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 the Company and to recipients of software
|
|
|
|
distributed by the 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 the Company and to recipients of software
|
|
|
|
distributed by the 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) 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 Company, or that your
|
|
|
|
employer has executed a separate Corporate CLA with the Company.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
5. You represent that each of Your Contributions is Your original creation (see
|
|
|
|
section 7 for submissions on behalf of 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, 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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
7. Should You wish to submit work that is not Your original creation, You may
|
|
|
|
submit it to the Company 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: **NAME HERE**".
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
8. You agree to notify the Company of any facts or circumstances of which you
|
|
|
|
become aware that would make these representations inaccurate in any respect.
