Thank you for your interest in contributing to software projects made available by Minimal.dev Software Inc. ("We" or "Us").
In order to clarify the intellectual property license granted with Contributions from any person or entity, We 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 Us and Our users; it does not change Your rights to use Your own Contributions for any other purpose.
This is a legally binding document, so please read this document carefully before signing, ensuring that you understand all of the terms, and keep a copy for your records.
By signing below (or by indicating acceptance via the electronic signing process provided by Us, including by clicking an "I Agree" control clearly referencing this Agreement), You accept and agree to the following terms and conditions for Your present and future Contributions submitted to Us. Except for the license granted herein to Us and recipients of software distributed by Us, You reserve all right, title, and interest in and to Your Contributions.
"You" (or "Your") shall mean the copyright owner or legal entity authorized by the copyright owner that is entering into this Agreement with Us. 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 Us for inclusion in, or documentation of, any of the products owned or managed by Us (the "Work"). For the purposes of this definition, "submitted" means any form of electronic, verbal, or written communication sent to Us or our 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, Us 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."
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, You hereby grant to Us and to those who receive the Contributions directly or indirectly from Us 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.
You further grant to Us the right to relicense Your Contributions, in whole or in part, under any license terms, including proprietary license terms, at Our sole discretion. This grant includes the right to incorporate Your Contributions into works distributed under licenses different from the license under which the Work was originally distributed.
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, You hereby grant to Us and to recipients of software distributed by Us 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.
You represent that:
(a) 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 Us, or that Your employer has executed a separate Corporate CLA with Us.
(b) Each of Your Contributions is Your original creation (see section 7 for submissions on behalf of others).
(c) 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.
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. Save as otherwise expressly provided for in section 4 (Representations), or 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.
You agree to notify Us of any facts or circumstances of which You become aware that would make the representations in section 4 (Representations) inaccurate in any respect.
Should You wish to submit work that is not Your original creation, You may submit it to Us 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]".
This Agreement is governed by the laws of the Province of British Columbia and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. The parties attorn to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Province of British Columbia in respect of any dispute arising out of or in connection with this Agreement. This Agreement sets forth the entire understanding between You and Us regarding Your Contributions and supersedes all prior agreements or understandings on the subject.
By signing below (or by indicating acceptance via the electronic signing process provided by Us, including by clicking an "I Agree" control clearly referencing this Agreement), You agree to the terms of this Agreement for Your present and future Contributions to Us.
