2 Individual Contributor License Agreement ("Agreement") v1.0.1
4 Thank you for your interest in iThink Software. In order to clarify
5 the intellectual property license granted with Contributions from
6 any person or entity, iThink Software must have a Contributor
7 License Agreement ("CLA") on file that has been signed by each
8 Contributor, indicating agreement to the license terms below. This
9 license is for your protection as a Contributor as well as the
10 protection of iThink Software and its users; it does not change
11 your rights to use your own Contributions for any other purpose.

33 You accept and agree to the following terms and conditions for Your
34 present and future Contributions submitted to iThink Software. Except
35 for the license granted herein to iThink Software and recipients of
36 software distributed by iThink Software, You reserve all right,
37 title, and interest in and to Your Contributions.
41 "You" (or "Your") shall mean the copyright owner or legal entity
42 authorized by the copyright owner that is making this Agreement
43 with iThink Software. For legal entities, the entity making a
44 Contribution and all other entities that control, are controlled
45 by, or are under common control with that entity are considered to
46 be a single Contributor. For the purposes of this definition,
47 "control" means (i) the power, direct or indirect, to cause the
48 direction or management of such entity, whether by contract or
49 otherwise, or (ii) ownership of fifty percent (50%) or more of the
50 outstanding shares, or (iii) beneficial ownership of such entity.
52 "Contribution" shall mean any original work of authorship,
53 including any modifications or additions to an existing work, that
54 is intentionally submitted by You to iThink Software for inclusion
55 in, or documentation of, any of the products owned or managed by
56 iThink Software (the "Work"). For the purposes of this definition,
57 "submitted" means any form of electronic, verbal, or written
58 communication sent to iThink Software or its representatives,
59 including but not limited to communication on electronic mailing
60 lists, source code control systems, and issue tracking systems that
61 are managed by, or on behalf of, iThink Software for the purpose of
62 discussing and improving the Work, but excluding communication that
63 is conspicuously marked or otherwise designated in writing by You
64 as "Not a Contribution."
66 2. Grant of Copyright License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
67 this Agreement, You hereby grant to iThink Software and to
68 recipients of software distributed by iThink Software a perpetual,
69 worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
70 copyright license to reproduce, prepare derivative works of,
71 publicly display, publicly perform, sublicense, and distribute Your
72 Contributions and such derivative works.
74 3. Grant of Patent License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
75 this Agreement, You hereby grant to iThink Software and to
76 recipients of software distributed by iThink Software a perpetual,
77 worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
78 (except as stated in this section) patent license to make, have
79 made, use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer the
80 Work, where such license applies only to those patent claims
81 licensable by You that are necessarily infringed by Your
82 Contribution(s) alone or by combination of Your Contribution(s)
83 with the Work to which such Contribution(s) were submitted. If any
84 entity institutes patent litigation against You or any other entity
85 (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging
86 that your Contribution, or the Work to which you have contributed,
87 constitutes direct or contributory patent infringement, then any
88 patent licenses granted to that entity under this Agreement for
89 that Contribution or Work shall terminate as of the date such
92 4. You represent that you are legally entitled to grant the above
93 license. If your employer(s) has rights to intellectual property
94 that you create that includes your Contributions, you represent
95 that you have received permission to make Contributions on behalf
96 of that employer, that your employer has waived such rights for
97 your Contributions to iThink Software, or that your employer has
98 executed a separate Corporate CLA with iThink Software.
100 5. You represent that each of Your Contributions is Your original
101 creation (see section 7 for submissions on behalf of others). You
102 represent that Your Contribution submissions include complete
103 details of any third-party license or other restriction (including,
104 but not limited to, related patents and trademarks) of which you
105 are personally aware and which are associated with any part of Your
108 6. You are not expected to provide support for Your Contributions,
109 except to the extent You desire to provide support. You may provide
110 support for free, for a fee, or not at all. Unless required by
111 applicable law or agreed to in writing, You provide Your
112 Contributions on an "AS IS" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS
113 OF ANY KIND, either express or implied, including, without
114 limitation, any warranties or conditions of TITLE, NON-
115 INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
117 7. Should You wish to submit work that is not Your original creation,
118 You may submit it to iThink Software separately from any
119 Contribution, identifying the complete details of its source and of
120 any license or other restriction (including, but not limited to,
121 related patents, trademarks, and license agreements) of which you
122 are personally aware, and conspicuously marking the work as
123 "Submitted on behalf of a third-party: [named here]".
125 8. You agree to notify iThink Software of any facts or circumstances of
126 which you become aware that would make these representations
127 inaccurate in any respect.
