# Nexul Contributor License Agreement

Thank you for contributing to Nexul. Nexul is one repository under two
licenses: the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 or later outside `ee/`,
and the Nexul Enterprise License inside `ee/` and `web/src/ee/`. To keep
licensing both parts, and to protect you and the project, otal-labs ("we")
needs the rights below from every contributor.

You accept this agreement by ticking the CLA box in the pull request
template. It covers that contribution and every later contribution you make
to Nexul, unless you tell us in writing that you withdraw it for future
contributions. Withdrawal never affects contributions already made.

## 1. Definitions

"You" means the individual or legal entity making the contribution. If you
contribute on behalf of your employer or another entity, "you" includes that
entity, and you confirm you are authorised to accept this agreement for it.

"Contribution" means any original work of authorship, including changes to
existing work, that you intentionally submit to Nexul for inclusion in the
project, in any form: pull requests, patches, issues, documentation, design
files, or comments on any of those.

## 2. Copyright licence

You grant otal-labs and everyone who receives software distributed by
otal-labs a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, irrevocable
copyright licence to reproduce, prepare derivative works of, publicly
display, publicly perform, sublicense, and distribute your contributions and
derivative works, under any licence terms, including the AGPL-3.0, the Nexul
Enterprise License, and commercial licences.

## 3. Patent licence

You grant otal-labs and everyone who receives software distributed by
otal-labs a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, irrevocable
patent licence to make, have made, use, offer to sell, sell, import, and
otherwise transfer the work, for any patent claims you own or control that
are necessarily infringed by your contribution alone or by its combination
with the project it was submitted to. If anyone brings patent litigation
alleging that your contribution or the project infringes a patent, the patent
licences granted to that party under this agreement end on the date the
litigation is filed.

## 4. Your promises

- You are legally entitled to grant the licences above. If your employer has
  rights to intellectual property you create, you have that employer's
  permission to contribute, or the employer has waived those rights for the
  contribution.
- Each contribution is your original creation. Where it includes work that is
  not yours, you identify that work, its author, and its licence in the
  contribution, and that licence permits the use described here.
- You will tell us if you become aware of any fact that makes these promises
  inaccurate.

## 5. What you keep

You keep every right, title, and interest in your contributions. This
agreement gives otal-labs licences; it does not transfer ownership. You may
use your contributions elsewhere on any terms.

## 6. No obligation

We are not obliged to accept or use any contribution, and you are not obliged
to provide support for it, unless you choose to.

## 7. Warranty

Except for the promises in section 4, contributions are provided "as is",
without warranty of any kind.
