Trail of Bits Individual Contributor License Agreement
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.
