- Contributor License Agreement
- You accept and agree to the following terms and conditions for Your present and future
- Contributions submitted to Caffeine, Inc. (“Caffeine”). Except for the license granted herein to
- Caffeine and recipients of software distributed by Caffeine, 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 Caffeine. 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 any original work of authorship, including any modifications or
- additions to an existing work, that is intentionally submitted by You to Caffeine for inclusion in, or
- documentation of, any of the products owned or managed by Caffeine (the “Work”). For the
- purposes of this definition, “submitted” means any form of electronic, verbal, or written
- communication sent to Caffeine 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, Caffeine 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 Caffeine and to recipients of software distributed by Caffeine 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 Caffeine and to recipients of software distributed by Caffeine 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. If your employer(s)
- has rights to intellectual property that you create that includes your Contributions, you represent that
- you have received permission to make Contributions on behalf of that employer, that your employer
- has waived such rights for your Contributions to Caffeine, or that your employer has executed a
- separate Corporate Contributor License Agreement with Caffeine.
- 5. You represent that each of Your Contributions is Your original creation (see section 7 for
- submissions on behalf of others). You represent that Your Contribution submissions include
- complete details of any third-party license or other restriction (including, but not limited to, related
- patents and trademarks) of which you are personally aware and which are associated with any part of
- Your Contributions.
- 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
- Caffeine 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. You agree to notify Caffeine of any facts or circumstances of which you become aware
- that would make these representations inaccurate in any respect.
