Client file sharing, rebuilt from the ground up: a private area per
client, resumable uploads, folders, groups and categories, sharing with
expiry dates and download limits, comments, file versions, an activity
log, a REST API, and sixteen languages.

This repository begins here. ProjectSend 2 was developed privately, and
that development history is not published — the previous generation
remains available, with its own history, at projectsend/legacy.

ProjectSend Entity Contributor License Agreement

Version 1.0

This agreement is for organizations whose employees or contractors contribute to ProjectSend. If you are contributing as an individual on your own behalf, sign the Individual CLA instead.

This Agreement is between Ignacio Nelson, the original author and maintainer of ProjectSend ("the Licensor"), and the entity identified below ("You" or "Your"). It clarifies the intellectual property rights granted with Contributions made by Your employees, contractors, and designated contributors.

Your organization keeps the copyright in its Contributions. This is a license, not a transfer of ownership.


1. Definitions

"You" (or "Your") means the corporation or other legal entity signing this Agreement, together with all other entities that control, are controlled by, or are under common control with that entity. For this definition, "control" means (i) the power, direct or indirect, to cause the direction or management of such entity, whether by contract or otherwise, (ii) ownership of fifty percent (50%) or more of the outstanding shares, or (iii) beneficial ownership of such entity.

"Contribution" means any original work of authorship, including any modifications or additions to an existing work, that is or has been intentionally submitted by You to the Licensor for inclusion in, or documentation of, any of the products owned or managed by the Licensor (the "Work"). "Submitted" means any form of electronic, verbal, or written communication sent to the Licensor 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, the Licensor 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."

For the avoidance of doubt, this Agreement applies to all Contributions made on Your behalf — those submitted after signing it and those submitted before, including any contributions made to ProjectSend prior to the existence of this Agreement.

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, You hereby grant to the Licensor and to recipients of software distributed by the Licensor 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.

You further grant to the Licensor the right to license Your Contributions, and derivative works of Your Contributions, under any license terms of the Licensor's choosing. This includes, without limitation, open source licenses other than the one under which the Work is currently distributed, and commercial or proprietary licenses.

You retain all right, title, and interest in and to Your Contributions.

3. Grant of Patent License

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, You hereby grant to the Licensor and to recipients of software distributed by the Licensor 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. This license applies only to those patent claims licensable by You that are necessarily infringed by Your Contributions alone or by combination of Your Contributions with the Work to which such Contributions were submitted.

If any entity institutes patent litigation against You or any other entity (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that a 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. Your Representations

You represent that:

a. You are legally entitled to grant the above licenses.

b. Each employee or contractor of Yours designated on Schedule A below is authorized to submit Contributions on Your behalf.

c. Each Contribution is an original creation of the designated contributor, or You have obtained the necessary rights to submit it under the terms of this Agreement.

d. To the best of Your knowledge, no Contribution violates any third party's copyrights, trademarks, patents, or other intellectual property rights.

5. Third-Party Materials

Should You wish to submit work that is not an original creation, You may submit it separately from any Contribution, identifying the complete details of its source and of any license or other restriction of which You are aware, and conspicuously marking the work as "Submitted on behalf of a third party: [named here]".

6. Disclaimer

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.

7. No Obligation

The decision to include any Contribution in any product or source repository is entirely at the discretion of the Licensor.

8. Notification

You agree to notify the Licensor of any facts or circumstances of which You become aware that would make the representations in this Agreement inaccurate in any respect, and to keep Schedule A current.

9. Successors and Assigns

The Licensor may assign this Agreement, and the rights granted under it, to any successor in interest to the ProjectSend project.

10. Governing Law

This Agreement is governed by the laws of the Argentine Republic, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any dispute arising from or relating to this Agreement shall be submitted to the ordinary courts of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires, Argentina.
