electronic, verbal, or written communication sent to Cloudability or its
representatives, including but not limited to communication on electronic
mailing lists, source code control systems, and issue tracking systems that

and improving the Work, but excluding communication that is conspicuously
marked or otherwise designated in writing by You as "Not a Contribution."

cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that your Contribution,
