Trail of Bits Individual Contributor License Agreement | |
Thank you for your interest in software from Trail of Bits ("TOB"). In order to | |
clarify the intellectual property license granted with Contributions from any person | |
or entity, the TOB must have a Contributor License Agreement ("Agreement") 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 TOB and its users; it does not change your rights to use your own | |
Contributions for any other purpose. | |
If you have not already done so, please use the CLA Assistant to accept the | |
Agreement. Please read this document carefully before signing and keep a copy for | |
your records. | |
You accept and agree to the following terms and conditions for Your present and | |
future Contributions submitted to TOB. Except for the license granted herein to TOB | |
and recipients of software distributed by TOB, 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 TOB. 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 TOB for inclusion in, or documentation of, any of the products owned or | |
managed by TOB (the “Work”). For the purposes of this definition, “submitted” means | |
any form of electronic, verbal, or written communication sent to TOB 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, TOB 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 TOB and to recipients of software distributed by TOB | |
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 TOB and to recipients of software distributed by TOB 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 TOB, or that your employer has executed a separate Corporate CLA | |
with TOB. | |
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 TOB 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 TOB of any facts or circumstances of which you become aware | |
that would make these representations inaccurate in any respect. |
