CVXPY Individual Contributor License Agreement (CLA)
Adapted from http://www.apache.org/licenses/

Thank you for your interest in the CVXPY project, an unincorporated association (“CVXPY”). To clarify the intellectual property license granted with Contributions, CVXPY must have a Contributor License Agreement ("CLA") 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 CVXPY 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 complete and send a signed CLA by scanning it and emailing it to: cvxpy.project@gmail.com.
You agree to the following terms for Your past, present, and future Contributions submitted to CVXPY. In return, CVXPY shall not use Your Contributions in a way that is contrary to the public benefit or inconsistent with its nonprofit status and bylaws in effect at the time of the Contribution. Except for the license granted herein to CVXPY and recipients of software distributed by CVXPY, You reserve all right, title, and interest in and to Your Contributions. For purposes of this CLA and managing CVXPY, CVXPY shall be represented by Steven Diamond or his successor, who may be appointed in writing by Steven Diamond or his successor.
1.	Definitions.
"You" (or "Your") shall mean the copyright owner or legal entity authorized by the copyright owner that is entering into this CLA with CVXPY. 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 CVXPY for inclusion in, or documentation of, any of the products owned or managed by CVXPY (the "Work"). For the purposes of this definition, "submitted" means any form of electronic, verbal, or written communication sent to CVXPY 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, CVXPY 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 of this CLA, You hereby grant to CVXPY and to recipients of software distributed by CVXPY 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 CLA, You hereby grant to CVXPY and to recipients of software distributed by CVXPY 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) were 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 CLA for that Contribution or Work shall terminate as of the date such litigation is filed.
4.	Representations. 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 CVXPY, or that your employer has executed a separate Corporate CLA with CVXPY.
5.	Original Work and Restrictions. 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.	Support and Warranties. 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.	Third Party Submissions. Should You wish to submit work that is not Your original creation, You may submit it to CVXPY 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.	Notices. You agree to notify CVXPY of any facts or circumstances of which you become aware that would make these representations inaccurate in any respect.
