Individual Contributor Licence Agreement
|
|
|
|
Thank you for your interest in JHC Systems Limited software. In
|
|
order to clarify the intellectual property licence granted with

Contributions from any person or entity, JHC Systems Limited must

signed by each Contributor, indicating agreement to the licence terms
|
|
below. This licence is for your protection as a Contributor as well
|
|
as the protection of JHC Systems Limited and its users; 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 ian.haines@jhc.co.uk.

|
|
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 JHC Systems Limited. 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 JHC Systems Limited for inclusion
|
|
in, or documentation of, any of the products owned or managed by
|
|
JHC Systems Limited (the "Work"). For the purposes of this definition,
|
|
"submitted" means any form of electronic, verbal, or written
|
|
communication sent to JHC Systems Limited 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, JHC Systems Limited 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 Licence. Subject to the terms and conditions of
|
|
this Agreement, You hereby grant to JHC Systems Limited and to
|
|
recipients of software distributed by JHC Systems Limited a perpetual,
|
|
worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
|
|
copyright licence to reproduce, prepare derivative works of,
|
|
publicly display, publicly perform, sublicence, and distribute Your
|
|
Contributions and such derivative works.
|
|
|
|
3. Grant of Patent Licence. Subject to the terms and conditions of
|
|
this Agreement, You hereby grant to JHC Systems Limited and to
|
|
recipients of software distributed by JHC Systems Limited a perpetual,
|
|
worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
|
|
(except as stated in this section) patent licence to make, have
|
|
made, use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer the
|
|
Work, where such licence 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 licences 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
|
|
licence. 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 JHC Systems Limited, or that your employer has
|
|
executed a separate Corporate CLA with JHC Systems Limited.
|
|
|
|
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 licence 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 JHC Systems Limited separately from any
|
|
Contribution, identifying the complete details of its source and of
|
|
any licence or other restriction (including, but not limited to,
|
|
related patents, trademarks, and licence 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 JHC Systems Limited of any facts or circumstances
|
|
of which you become aware that would make these representations
|
|
inaccurate in any respect.
