# AgiMate Individual Contributor License Agreement Thank you for your interest in contributing to AgiMate. This agreement clarifies the intellectual property license granted with Contributions from any person or entity. It protects You as a Contributor as much as it protects the project and its users; it does **not** change your rights to use your own Contributions for any other purpose. You accept and agree to the following terms for Your present and future Contributions submitted to AgiMate. Except for the license granted here to the Project Owner and to recipients of software distributed by the Project Owner, You reserve all right, title and interest in and to Your Contributions. ## 1. Definitions **"Project Owner"** means Eugene Smith, the copyright holder of AgiMate, and any successor entity to which the AgiMate project and its copyrights are assigned. The Project Owner may assign this agreement, together with all rights granted under it, to such a successor entity without further consent from You. **"You"** means the copyright owner, or the legal entity authorized by the copyright owner, entering into this agreement. **"Contribution"** means any original work of authorship, including any modification of or addition to an existing work, that is intentionally submitted by You to the Project Owner for inclusion in, or documentation of, any of the products owned or managed by the Project Owner. "Submitted" means any form of electronic, verbal, or written communication sent to the Project Owner or its representatives, including but not limited to communication on electronic mailing lists, source code control systems, and issue tracking systems, 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 grant to the Project Owner and to recipients of software distributed by the Project Owner 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. The right to sublicense means the Project Owner may distribute Your Contribution under the license the project currently uses — the Functional Source License 1.1 with an Apache-2.0 future license — and under other license terms, including commercial ones. ## 3. Grant of Patent License Subject to the terms and conditions of this agreement, You grant to the Project Owner and to recipients of software distributed by the Project Owner 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. This license applies only to those patent claims licensable by You that are necessarily infringed by Your Contribution alone or by combination of Your Contribution with the Work to which it was submitted. If any entity institutes patent litigation against You or any other entity 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 terminate as of the date such litigation is filed. ## 4. Your Right to Grant This License You represent that You are legally entitled to grant the above licenses. If your employer has rights to intellectual property that You create — which 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, or that your employer has executed a separate corporate agreement with the Project Owner. ## 5. Originality You represent that each of Your Contributions is Your original creation. 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. Work Not Your Own Should You wish to submit work that is not Your original creation, You may submit it to the Project Owner separately from any Contribution, identifying the complete details of its source and of any license or other restriction of which You are personally aware, and conspicuously marking the work as "Submitted on behalf of a third-party: [named here]". ## 7. No Obligation of Support You are not expected to provide support for Your Contributions, except to the extent You desire to provide support. 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. ## 8. Notification You agree to notify the Project Owner of any facts or circumstances of which You become aware that would make these representations inaccurate in any respect. --- ## How to sign Signing happens in the pull request. When you open your first pull request, a bot comments with instructions; you sign by replying with a single comment: ``` I have read the CLA Document and I hereby sign the CLA ``` Your signature — GitHub username, the pull request it was given in, and the timestamp — is recorded in the `cla-signatures` branch of this repository. You sign once; later pull requests are recognised automatically. This agreement is adapted from the Apache Software Foundation Individual Contributor License Agreement v2.2.
