# Lyriks Contributor License Agreement (individual)

Thank you for your interest in contributing to Lyriks ("the Project"). This
agreement clarifies the intellectual property licence granted with your
contributions, so that the Project can be distributed both under its open
source licence and as part of the commercial Enterprise edition. It protects
you as well as the Project; it does not change your rights to use your own
contributions for any other purpose.

By submitting a contribution to the Project you accept the terms below.

1. **Definitions.** "You" means the individual submitting the contribution.
   "Contribution" means any original work of authorship, including changes to
   existing work, that you intentionally submit to the Project.

2. **Copyright licence.** You grant the maintainers of the Project a
   perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, irrevocable licence to
   reproduce, prepare derivative works of, publicly display, publicly
   perform, sublicense and distribute your Contributions and such derivative
   works, under the Project's open source licence or under any other licence
   terms, including proprietary ones.

3. **Patent licence.** You grant the maintainers of the Project and the
   recipients of software distributed by the Project a perpetual, worldwide,
   non-exclusive, royalty-free, irrevocable patent licence to make, use,
   sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise transfer your Contribution,
   for patent claims you can license that are necessarily infringed by your
   Contribution alone or in combination with the work it was submitted to.

4. **Your representations.** You confirm that you are legally entitled to
   grant the above licences; that each Contribution is your original creation
   or that you have identified any third-party material and its licence in
   the submission; and that, if your employer has rights to intellectual
   property you create, you have received permission to make the Contribution
   on its behalf or your employer has waived such rights.

5. **No warranty.** Unless required by law or agreed in writing, you provide
   your Contributions "as is", without warranties of any kind.

6. **Notification.** You agree to notify the maintainers of any facts or
   circumstances of which you become aware that would make these
   representations inaccurate in any respect.
