# ProxMate Contributor License Agreement (Individual)

> **Draft template — needs reviewing by a lawyer before relying on it for real
> contributions.** This CLA lets the project accept your contribution into the
> open-source Community Edition *and* into the commercial EDU Edition. Until it is
> finalized, ProxMate is **not** accepting external code contributions (see
> [CONTRIBUTING.md](./CONTRIBUTING.md)).

By submitting a contribution to ProxMate, you ("Contributor") agree to the
following with respect to all past and future contributions you submit:

1. **Definitions.** "Contribution" means any original work of authorship,
   including modifications or additions, that you intentionally submit to the
   project (for example, via pull request or patch).

2. **Copyright license.** You grant Jewell Net LLC ("the Maintainer") and
   recipients of software distributed by the Maintainer a perpetual, worldwide,
   non-exclusive, royalty-free, irrevocable copyright license to reproduce,
   prepare derivative works of, publicly display, sublicense, and distribute your
   Contribution and such derivative works. **This expressly includes the right to
   license your Contribution under both the AGPLv3 (Community Edition) and under a
   separate commercial license (EDU Edition or other).**

3. **Patent license.** You grant the Maintainer and recipients a perpetual,
   worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, irrevocable patent license to make,
   use, sell, offer to sell, import, and otherwise transfer your Contribution,
   covering patent claims you can license that are necessarily infringed by your
   Contribution alone or combined with the project.

4. **You have the right to grant this.** You represent that each Contribution is
   your original creation and that you are legally entitled to grant the licenses
   above. If your employer has rights to work you create, you represent that you
   have permission to make the Contribution, or that the employer has waived such
   rights.

5. **No obligation.** You understand the Maintainer is not obligated to use your
   Contribution and may remove or alter it.

6. **No other relationship.** This agreement does not create an employment,
   partnership, or agency relationship.

You **retain copyright ownership** of your Contribution. This agreement is a
license, not an assignment of ownership.
