2 Corporate Contributor License Agreement ("Agreement") v1.0
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.
13 This version of the Agreement allows an entity (the "Corporation")
14 to submit Contributions to iThink Software, to authorize Contributions
15 submitted by its designated employees to iThink Software, and to grant
16 copyright and patent licenses thereto.

40 You accept and agree to the following terms and conditions for Your
41 present and future Contributions submitted to iThink Software. Except
42 for the license granted herein to iThink Software and recipients of
43 software distributed by iThink Software, You reserve all right,
44 title, and interest in and to Your Contributions.
48 "You" (or "Your") shall mean the copyright owner or legal entity
49 authorized by the copyright owner that is making this Agreement
50 with iThink Software. For legal entities, the entity making a
51 Contribution and all other entities that control, are controlled
52 by, or are under common control with that entity are considered to
53 be a single Contributor. For the purposes of this definition,
54 "control" means (i) the power, direct or indirect, to cause the
55 direction or management of such entity, whether by contract or
56 otherwise, or (ii) ownership of fifty percent (50%) or more of the
57 outstanding shares, or (iii) beneficial ownership of such entity.
59 "Contribution" shall mean any original work of authorship,
60 including any modifications or additions to an existing work, that
61 is intentionally submitted by You to iThink Software for inclusion
62 in, or documentation of, any of the products owned or managed by
63 iThink Software (the "Work"). For the purposes of this definition,
64 "submitted" means any form of electronic, verbal, or written
65 communication sent to iThink Software or its representatives,
66 including but not limited to communication on electronic mailing
67 lists, source code control systems, and issue tracking systems that
68 are managed by, or on behalf of, iThink Software for the purpose of
69 discussing and improving the Work, but excluding communication that
70 is conspicuously marked or otherwise designated in writing by You
71 as "Not a Contribution."
73 2. Grant of Copyright License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
74 this Agreement, You hereby grant to iThink Software and to
75 recipients of software distributed by iThink Software a perpetual,
76 worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
77 copyright license to reproduce, prepare derivative works of,
78 publicly display, publicly perform, sublicense, and distribute Your
79 Contributions and such derivative works.
81 3. Grant of Patent License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
82 this Agreement, You hereby grant to iThink Software and to
83 recipients of software distributed by iThink Software a perpetual,
84 worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
85 (except as stated in this section) patent license to make, have
86 made, use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer the
87 Work, where such license applies only to those patent claims
88 licensable by You that are necessarily infringed by Your
89 Contribution(s) alone or by combination of Your Contribution(s)
90 with the Work to which such Contribution(s) were submitted. If any
91 entity institutes patent litigation against You or any other entity
92 (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging
93 that your Contribution, or the Work to which you have contributed,
94 constitutes direct or contributory patent infringement, then any
95 patent licenses granted to that entity under this Agreement for
96 that Contribution or Work shall terminate as of the date such
99 4. You represent that You are legally entitled to grant the above
100 license. You represent further that each employee of the
101 Corporation designated on Schedule A below (or in a subsequent
102 written modification to that Schedule) is authorized to submit
103 Contributions on behalf of the Corporation.
105 5. You represent that each of Your Contributions is Your original
106 creation (see section 7 for submissions on behalf of others).
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. It is your responsibility to notify iThink Software when any change
126 is required to the list of designated employees authorized to submit
127 Contributions on behalf of the Corporation, or to the Corporation's
128 Point of Contact with iThink Software.
