Individual Contributor License Agreement
International Business Machines, Inc. (IBM)
Individual Contributor License Agreement ("Agreement")
http://github.com/moriohara/secure-bitcoin-wallet
Thank you for your interest in the secure-bitcoin-wallet project ("the Project").
In order to clarify the intellectual property license granted with Contributions from any person or entity, IBM 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 IBM and its customers; 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 sign, then scan and email a pdf file of this Agreement to ohara@jp.ibm.com.
The original signed agreement should be sent to:
IBM Japan, Ltd.
19-21 NIHONBASHI-HAKOZAKICHO
CHUO-KU
TOKYO, 103-8510, JP
HZ-S7F
Attn: Moriyoshi Ohara
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 the Project.
Except for the license granted herein to IBM and recipients of software distributed by IBM, 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 IBM. 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 the Project for inclusion
in, or documentation of, the Project (?the Work?). For the purposes of
this definition, "submitted" means any form of electronic, verbal, or
written communication sent to the Project 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, the Project 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 IBM and to recipients of software
distributed by IBM 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 IBM and to recipients of software
distributed by IBM 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 to which Your Contribution(s) were submitted, 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 the Project, or that your employer has
executed a separate Corporate CLA with IBM.
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 the Project 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 IBM of any facts or circumstances of
which you become aware that would make these representations
inaccurate in any respect.
