# Contributor License Agreement

Thank you for contributing to Lively.

By submitting a contribution (a "Contribution") to this project, you agree to the terms below.
It is short on purpose.

**1. Grant of rights.** You grant to 윤상민 (Sangmin Yoon) and 장원준 (Wonjoon Jang), and to our
successors and assigns (together, "we", "us"), a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive,
royalty-free, irrevocable license to reproduce, modify, prepare derivative works of, publicly
display, sublicense, and distribute your Contribution and such derivative works, under any
license terms — including open source, proprietary, and commercial terms.

**2. You keep your copyright.** This agreement does not transfer ownership of your Contribution.
You remain free to use it for any other purpose.

**3. You have the right to grant this.** You represent that each Contribution is your original
work, or that you otherwise have the rights necessary to submit it, and that to your knowledge it
does not infringe anyone else's rights. If your employer has rights to work you produce, you
represent that you have permission to make the Contribution.

**4. Successors.** This agreement runs to our successors and assigns, including any legal entity
we later form or to which we transfer this project. No further signature is required for that
transfer to take effect.

**5. No warranty.** Contributions are provided "as is", without warranty of any kind.

### Why we ask for this

Lively is dual-licensed: the core is AGPL-3.0, and we offer commercial terms to organisations
whose legal policies prohibit AGPL. Granting commercial terms requires holding sufficient rights
to the whole codebase — including your Contribution. This agreement is what makes that possible.

It also preserves the option to relicense **more permissively** in future. We have committed
publicly not to move in the other direction — see [LICENSING.md](LICENSING.md).

You sign this once, automatically, when you open your first pull request.
