ignacionelson 6e47d76ba6 ProjectSend 2.0.0
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.

Free software under the GNU General Public License v2, or (at your
option) any later version.

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.

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.
