# Contributor License Agreement.

Thank you for your contribution to this Twitter software project. In order to
clarify the intellectual property rights in the project, and to grant licenses
to the project to others, Twitter, Inc. ("Twitter") requires that you accept
this Contributor License Agreement ("Agreement"). This license is for your
protection as a Contributor as well as the protection of Twitter, its users,
and its licensees; you may still license your own Contributions under other
terms.

You accept and agree to the following terms and conditions for Your
Contributions submitted to Twitter. Except for the license granted herein to
Twitter and recipients of software distributed by Twitter, You reserve all
right, title, and interest in and to Your Contributions. (If, however, you are
a current or former employee of Twitter, your rights and/or Contributions may
be governed by another agreement, including your Employee Invention Assignment,
and nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as modifying the terms of any
other such agreement.)

1. Definitions.

   "You" (or "Your") shall mean the copyright owner or legal entity authorized
   by the copyright owner that is making this Agreement with Twitter. 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 or invention,
   including any modifications or additions to an existing work, that is
   intentionally submitted by You to Twitter for inclusion in, or documentation
   of, any of the products owned or managed by Twitter (the "Work"). For the
   purposes of this definition, "submitted" means any form of electronic,
   verbal, or written communication sent to Twitter 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, Twitter 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 Twitter and to recipients of software
   distributed by Twitter a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge,
   royalty-free, irrevocable copyright license to reproduce, prepare derivative
   works of, publicly display, publicly perform, and distribute Your
   Contributions and such derivative works, as well as the right to sublicense
   and have sublicensed all of the foregoing rights, through multiple tiers of
   sublicensees.

3. Grant of Patent License. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
   Agreement, You hereby grant to Twitter and to recipients of software
   distributed by Twitter 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 Twitter, or that your employer
   has executed with Twitter a separate contributor license agreement
   substantially similar to this Agreement.

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 Twitter 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 "Not a Contribution. Third-party materials licensed pursuant to:
   [license name(s) here]" (substituting the bracketed text with the
   appropriate license name(s)).

8. You agree to notify Twitter of any facts or circumstances of which you
   become aware that would make these representations inaccurate in any
   respect.
