Trace Machina Individual Contributor License Agreement
In order to clarify the intellectual property license granted with Contributions
from any person or entity, Trace Machina, Inc. ("Trace Machina") 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 Trace
Machina; it does not change your rights to use your own Contributions for any
other purpose.
You accept and agree to the following terms and conditions for Your present and
future Contributions submitted to Trace Machina. Except for the license granted
herein to Trace Machina and recipients of software distributed by Trace
Machina, 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 Trace Machina. 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 Trace Machina for inclusion in, or documentation of, any of the
products owned or managed by Trace Machina (the "Work"). For the purposes of
this definition, "submitted" means any form of electronic, verbal, or written
communication sent to Trace Machina 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,
Trace Machina 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 Trace Machina and to recipients of software
distributed by Trace Machina 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 Trace Machina and to recipients of software
distributed by Trace Machina 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 Trace Machina, or that your employer has
executed a separate Corporate CLA with Trace Machina.
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 Trace Machina 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 Trace Machina of any facts or circumstances of which you
become aware that would make these representations inaccurate in any respect.
