JHC Systems Limited
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
have a Contributor Licence Agreement ("CLA") on file that has been
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.
Please read this document carefully before signing and keep a copy
for your records.
Full name: ______________________________________________________
(optional) Public name: _________________________________________
Mailing Address: ________________________________________________
________________________________________________
Country: ______________________________________________________
Telephone: ______________________________________________________
E-Mail: ______________________________________________________
You accept and agree to the following terms and conditions for Your
present and future Contributions submitted to JHC Systems Limited.
Except for the licence granted herein to JHC Systems Limited and
recipients of software distributed by JHC Systems Limited, You
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.
