Software Grant and Corporate Contributor License Agreement
In order to clarify the intellectual property license granted with
Contributions from any person or entity, Leonhard LLC must have a
Contributor License Agreement (CLA) on file that has been signed by
each Contributor, indicating agreement to the license terms
below. This license is for your protection as a Contributor as well as
the protection of Leonhard LLC and its users; it does not change your
rights to use your own Contributions for any other purpose.
This version of the Agreement allows an entity (the "Corporation") to
submit Contributions to Leonhard LLC, to authorize Contributions
submitted by its designated employees to Leonhard LLC, and to grant
copyright and patent licenses thereto.
You accept and agree to the following terms and conditions for Your
present and future Contributions submitted to Leonhard LLC. Except for
the license granted herein to Leonhard LLC and recipients of software
distributed by Leonhard LLC, You reserve all right, title, and
interest in and to Your Contributions.
1. Definitions.
"You" (or "Your") shall mean the copyright owner or legal entity
authorized by the copyright owner that is making this Agreement with
Leonhard LLC. For legal entities, the entity making a Contribution and
all other entities that control, are controlled by, or are under
common control with that entity are considered to be a single
Contributor. For the purposes of this definition, "control" means (i)
the power, direct or indirect, to cause the direction or management of
such entity, whether by contract or otherwise, or (ii) ownership of
fifty percent (50%) or more of the outstanding shares, or (iii)
beneficial ownership of such entity.
"Contribution" shall mean the code, documentation or any original work
of authorship, including any modifications or additions to an existing
work, that is intentionally submitted by You to Leonhard LLC for
inclusion in, or documentation of, any of the products owned or
managed by Leonhard LLC (the "Work"). For the purposes of this
definition, "submitted" means any form of electronic, verbal, or
written communication sent to Leonhard LLC or its representatives,
including but not limited to communication on electronic mailing
lists, source code control systems, and issue tracking systems that
are managed by, or on behalf of, Leonhard LLC for the purpose of
discussing and improving the Work, but 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 hereby grant to Leonhard LLC and to recipients of
software distributed by Leonhard LLC 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.
3. Grant of Patent License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
this Agreement, You hereby grant to Leonhard LLC and to recipients of
software distributed by Leonhard LLC 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, where such
license applies only to those patent claims licensable by You that are
necessarily infringed by Your Contribution(s) alone or by combination
of Your Contribution(s) with the Work to which such Contribution(s)
was submitted. If any entity institutes patent litigation against You
or any other entity (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a
lawsuit) 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 shall terminate as of the
date such litigation is filed.
4. You represent that You are legally entitled to grant the above
license. You represent further that each employee of the Corporation
designated by You is authorized to submit Contributions on behalf of
the Corporation.
5. You represent that each of Your Contributions is Your original
creation (see section 7 for submissions on behalf of others).
6. You are not expected to provide support for Your Contributions,
except to the extent You desire to provide support. You may provide
support for free, for a fee, or not at all. 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.
7. Should You wish to submit work that is not Your original creation,
You may submit it to Leonhard LLC separately from any Contribution,
identifying the complete details of its source and of any license or
other restriction (including, but not limited to, related patents,
trademarks, and license agreements) of which you are personally aware,
and conspicuously marking the work as "Submitted on behalf of a
third-party: [named here]".
8. It is your responsibility to notify Leonhard LLC when any change is
required to the list of designated employees authorized to submit
Contributions on behalf of the Corporation, or to the Corporation's
Point of Contact with Leonhard LLC.
