Thank you for submitting your contributions to this project. By signing this CLA, you agree that the following terms apply to all of your past, present and future contributions to the project.
|
Thank you for your interest in contributing to software projects managed by Asayer, Inc. (“We” or “Us”). This Contributor License Agreement (“Agreement”) documents the rights granted by contributors to Us. This Agreement is for your protection as a contributor as well as for our protection; it does not change your rights to use your own Contributions for any other purpose. To make this document effective, please read the Agreement carefully and then sign it. By signing this Agreement (including by clicking “I agree” or "Sign in with GitHub to agree" and submitting it to us electronically), You are creating a legally binding contract which becomes effective upon your signature or agreement. If You are less than eighteen years old, please have Your parents or guardian sign the Agreement. This Agreement covers your present, and all future, Contributions from You, and may cover more than one software project managed by Us.

### License
|
### 1. Definitions
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
You hereby represent that all present, past and future contributions are governed by the [MIT License](https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT) copyright statement.
|
“Affiliates” means any Legal Entities that control, are controlled by, or under common control with another Legal Entity. For the purposes of this definition, “control” means (i) the power, direct or indirect, to cause the direction or management of such Legal Entity, whether by contract or otherwise, (ii) ownership of fifty percent (50%) or more of the outstanding shares or securities which vote to elect the management or other persons who direct such Legal Entity or (iii) beneficial ownership of such entity.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
This entails that to the extent possible under the applicable law, you transfer all copyright and related or neighboring rights of the code or documents you contribute to the project itself. Furthermore you also represent that you have the authority to perform the above waiver with respect to the entirety of you contributions.
|
“Contribution” means any work of authorship that is Submitted by You to Us in which You own or assert ownership of the Copyright. If You do not own the Copyright in the entire work of authorship, please contact us before Submitting the Contribution.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Moral Rights
|
“Copyright” means all rights protecting works of authorship owned or controlled by You or your Affiliates (as may be applicable), including copyright, moral and related (or neighboring) rights, as appropriate, for the full term of their existence, including any extensions by You.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
To the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, you hereby waive, and agree not to assert, all of your “moral rights” in or relating to your contributions for the benefit of the project.
|
“Legal Entity” means an entity which is not a natural person.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Third Party Content
|
“Media” means any portion of a Contribution which is not software.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
If your Contribution includes or is based on any source code, object code, bug fixes, configuration changes, tools, specifications, documentation, data, materials, feedback, information or other works of authorship that were not authored by you (“Third Party Content”) or if you are aware of any third party intellectual property or proprietary rights associated with your Contribution (“Third Party Rights”), then you agree to include with the submission of your Contribution full details respecting such Third Party Content and Third Party Rights, including, without limitation, identification of which aspects of your Contribution contain Third Party Content or are associated with Third Party Rights, the owner/author of the Third Party Content and Third Party Rights, where you obtained the Third Party Content, and any applicable third party license terms or restrictions respecting the Third Party Content and Third Party Rights. For greater certainty, the foregoing obligations respecting the identification of Third Party Content and Third Party Rights do not apply to any portion of a Project that is incorporated into your Contribution to that same Project.
|
“Submit” means any form of electronic or written communication, or recorded verbal communication, sent to Us or our representatives at a destination (including websites) that we own or control or that is otherwise registered to us, including but not limited to electronic mailing lists, source code control systems, instant messages or similar communications, and issue tracking systems that are managed by, or on behalf of, Us for the purpose of discussing and improving the Work, but excluding any communication that is conspicuously marked or otherwise designated in writing by You as “Not a Contribution.”
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Representations
|
“Work” means any of the products or projects owned or managed by Us, and any work of authorship which is made available by Us to third parties. When this Agreement covers more than one software project, Work means the work of authorship to which your Contribution was Submitted. After You Submit the Contribution, it may be included in the Work.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
You represent that, other than the Third Party Content and Third Party Rights identified by you in accordance with this Agreement, you are the sole author of your Contributions and are legally entitled to grant the foregoing licenses and waivers in respect of your Contributions. If your Contributions were created in the course of your employment with your past or present employer(s), you represent that such employer(s) has authorized you to make your Contributions on behalf of such employer(s) or such employer(s) has waived all of their right, title or interest in or to your Contributions.
|
“You” means (i) the individual who Submits a Contribution to Us, if You are an individual acting on your own behalf, or (ii) the Legal Entity on behalf of whom you Submit a Contribution to Us if you are are Submitting any Contribution on behalf of any entity.

### 2. Grant of Rights
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
To the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, your Contributions are provided on an "as is" basis, without any warranties or conditions, express or implied, including, without limitation, any implied warranties or conditions of non-infringement, merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. You are not required to provide support for your Contributions, except to the extent you desire to provide support.
|
#### 2.1 Copyright License
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### No Obligation
|
(a) Except for the license granted to Us in this Agreement, You reserve all right, title, and interest in and to Your Contributions. That means that you can keep doing whatever you want with your Contribution, and you can license it to anyone you want under any terms you want.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
You acknowledge that the maintainers of this project are under no obligation to use or incorporate your contributions into the project. The decision to use or incorporate your contributions into the project will be made at the sole discretion of the maintainers or their authorized delegates.
|
(b) To the maximum extent permitted by the relevant law, You grant to Us a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, transferable, no charge and royalty-free, irrevocable license under the Copyright covering the Contribution, with the right to sublicense such rights through multiple tiers of sublicensees, to reproduce, modify, display, perform, sublicense and distribute the Contribution as part of the Work; provided that this license is conditioned upon compliance with Section 2.3.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For patent claims, including without limitation method, process, and apparatus claims which You (or Your Affiliates, as may be applicable) own, control or have the right to grant, now or in the future, You grant to Us, and to recipients of software distributed by the Us, a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, transferable, no charge and royalty-free, irrevocable patent license, with the right to sublicense these rights to multiple tiers of sublicensees, to make, have made, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise transfer the Contribution (and the Contribution in combination with the Work, and portions of such combination). This license is granted only to the extent that the exercise of the licensed rights infringes such patent claims; and provided that this license is conditioned upon compliance with Section 2.3. If any person or entity institutes patent litigation against Contributor or any other entity (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Contributions, or the Work to which the Contributions were submitted, constitutes direct or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses granted under this Agreement for that Contribution to the person or entity instituting the litigation, or the Work to which the Contributions were submitted, shall terminate as of the date such litigation is filed.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#### 2.3 Outbound License
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Based on the grant of rights in Sections 2.1 (meaning, no matter what, you can keep licensing your Contribution to others however you want) and 2.2, if We include Your Contribution in any Work, and if We determine that it is appropriate for the purpose of commercializing any Work or any project under Our control, we may license the Contribution under any license, including copyleft, permissive, commercial, or proprietary licenses. As a condition on the exercise of this right, We agree to also use reasonable efforts to continue to license Your Contribution (in the same or other projects or Works) under the terms of the license or licenses under which you Submitted Your Contribution.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#### 2.4 Moral Rights
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
We agree to comply with applicable laws regarding your Contribution, including copyright laws and law related to moral rights. If moral rights apply to the Contribution, to the maximum extent permitted by law, You waive and agree not to assert such moral rights against Us or our successors in interest, or any of our licensees, either direct or indirect.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#### 2.5 Our Rights
|
||||||
|
|
||||||

|
||||||
|
