# ProjectSend Individual Contributor License Agreement
|
|
|
|
**Version 1.0**
|
|
|
|
Thank you for contributing to ProjectSend. This agreement clarifies the intellectual property
|
|
rights granted with Contributions from any person or entity. It protects You as a Contributor,
|
|
protects the Project, and protects everyone who relies on ProjectSend.
|
|
|
|
**You keep the copyright in Your Contribution.** This is a license, not a transfer of ownership.
|
|
You grant Ignacio Nelson, the original author and maintainer of ProjectSend ("the Licensor"),
|
|
broad permission to use and license Your Contribution,
|
|
including the right to distribute it under licenses other than the project's current open source
|
|
license — which is what makes it possible to offer ProjectSend to organizations that cannot
|
|
accept copyleft terms, and to fund continued development of the free version.
|
|
|
|
By submitting a Contribution to the Project, You accept and agree to the following terms.
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## 1. Definitions
|
|
|
|
**"You"** (or **"Your"**) means the individual who submits a Contribution to the Licensor.
|
|
|
|
**"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 of Your Contributions — those You
|
|
submit after signing it and those You submitted before**, including any contributions made to
|
|
ProjectSend prior to the existence of this Agreement.
|
|
|
|
## 2. Grant of Copyright 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 copyright license to reproduce, prepare derivative works of,
|
|
publicly display, publicly perform, sublicense, and distribute Your Contribution and such
|
|
derivative works.
|
|
|
|
You further grant to the Licensor the right to license Your Contribution, and derivative works of
|
|
Your Contribution, 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 Contribution. Nothing in this Agreement
|
|
restricts Your ability to use, license, or otherwise exploit Your Contribution for any purpose.
|
|
|
|
## 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
|
|
Contribution alone or by combination of Your Contribution with the Work to which such
|
|
Contribution 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. Your Representations
|
|
|
|
You represent that:
|
|
|
|
a. You are legally entitled to grant the above licenses.
|
|
|
|
b. Each of Your Contributions is Your original creation, or You have the necessary rights to
|
|
submit it under the terms of this Agreement.
|
|
|
|
c. If Your employer has rights to intellectual property that You create — including anything You
|
|
create as part of Your employment or using Your employer's resources — You have received
|
|
permission to make the Contribution on behalf of that employer, that Your employer has waived
|
|
such rights, or that Your employer has executed the ProjectSend Entity Contributor License
|
|
Agreement.
|
|
|
|
d. Your Contribution does not, to the best of Your knowledge, violate 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 Your 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 personally 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, including,
|
|
without limitation, any warranties or conditions of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or
|
|
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
|
|
|
|
## 7. No Obligation
|
|
|
|
You understand that the decision to include Your Contribution in any product or source repository
|
|
is entirely at the discretion of the Licensor, and this Agreement does not obligate the Licensor
|
|
to include Your Contribution in any product.
|
|
|
|
## 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.
|
|
|
|
## 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, including in connection with a reorganization, transfer of
|
|
stewardship, or sale of assets.
|
|
|
|
## 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.
