Attila Szegedi Contributor Agreement
Attila Szegedi Contributor Agreement
This Attila Szegedi Contributor Agreement (“ASzCA”) applies to any
contribution that you make to any product or project managed by me (the
“project”), and sets out the intellectual property rights you grant to
me in the contributed materials. The term “me” shall mean Attila
Szegedi, born on November 14, 1974 in Osijek, Croatia. The term “you”
shall mean the person or entity identified below. If you agree to be
bound by these terms, fill in the information requested below and sign
the ASzCA where indicated below. Read this agreement carefully before
signing. These terms and conditions constitute a binding legal
agreement.
1. The term 'contribution' or ‘contributed materials’ means any source
code, object code, patch, tool, sample, graphic, specification, manual,
documentation, or any other material posted or submitted by you to the
project.
2. With respect to any worldwide copyrights, or copyright applications
and registrations, in your contribution:
* you hereby assign to me joint ownership, and to the extent that
such assignment is or becomes invalid, ineffective or
unenforceable, you hereby grant to me a perpetual, irrevocable,
non-exclusive, worldwide, no-charge, royalty-free, unrestricted
license to exercise all rights under those copyrights. This
includes, at my option, the right to sublicense these same rights
to third parties through multiple levels of sublicensees or other
licensing arrangements;
* you agree that each of us can do all things in relation to your
contribution as if each of us were the sole owners, and if one of
us makes a derivative work of your contribution, the one who makes
the derivative work (or has it made) will be the sole owner of that
derivative work;
* you agree that you will not assert any moral rights in your
contribution against me, my licensees or transferees;
* you agree that I may register a copyright in your contribution and
exercise all ownership rights associated with it; and
* you agree that neither of us has any duty to consult with, obtain
the consent of, pay or render an accounting to the other for any
use or distribution of your contribution.
3. With respect to any patents you own, or that you can license without
payment to any third party, you hereby grant to me a perpetual,
irrevocable, non-exclusive, worldwide, no-charge, royalty-free
license to:
* make, have made, use, sell, offer to sell, import, and otherwise
transfer your contribution in whole or in part, alone or in
combination with or included in any product, work or materials
arising out of the project to which your contribution was
submitted, and
* at my option, to sublicense these same rights to third parties
through multiple levels of sublicensees or other licensing
arrangements.
4. Except as set out above, you keep all right, title, and interest in
your contribution. The rights that you grant to me under these terms
are effective on the date you first submitted a contribution to me,
even if your submission took place before the date you sign these
terms. Any contribution I make available under any license will also
be made available under a suitable FSF (Free Software Foundation) or
OSI (Open Source Initiative) approved license.
5. You covenant, represent, warrant and agree that:
* each contribution that you submit is and shall be an original work
of authorship and you can legally grant the rights set out in this
OCA;
* to the best of your knowledge, each contribution will not violate
any third party's copyrights, trademarks, patents, or other
intellectual property rights; and
* each contribution shall be in compliance with U.S. export control
laws and other applicable export and import laws.
You agree to notify me if you become aware of any circumstance which
would make any of the foregoing representations inaccurate in any
respect. I may publicly disclose your participation in the project,
including the fact that you have signed the ASzCA.
6. This ASzCA is governed by the laws of the State of California and
applicable U.S. Federal law. Any choice of law rules will not apply.
7. Please place an “x” on one of the applicable statement below.
Please do NOT mark both statements:
____ I am signing on behalf of myself as an individual and no other
person or entity, including my employer, has or will have rights
with respect my contributions.
____ I am signing on behalf of my employer or a legal entity and I
have the actual authority to contractually bind that entity.
