+# Individual Contributor License Agreement
+
+Thank you for your interest in Joplin Server, owned by Cozic Ltd (the
+"Company"). In order to clarify the intellectual property license granted with
+Contributions from any person or entity, the Company 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 the Company and its
+users; it does not change your rights to use your own Contributions for any
+other purpose.
+
+Please complete and sign this Agreement, and then email a copy to
+license@joplincloud.com only (do not copy any other persons or lists). Read this
+document carefully before signing and keep a copy for your records.

+You accept and agree to the following terms and conditions for Your present and
+future Contributions submitted to the Company. In return, the Company shall not
+use Your Contributions in a way that is contrary to the public benefit or
+inconsistent with its bylaws in effect at the time of the Contribution. Except
+for the license granted herein to the Company and recipients of software
+distributed by the Company, You reserve all right, title, and interest in and to
+Your Contributions.
+
+1. Definitions.
+
+   * "You" (or "Your")
+
+     "You" (or "Your") shall mean the copyright owner or legal entity authorized
+     by the copyright owner that is making this Agreement with the Company. 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"
+
+     "Contribution" shall mean any original work of authorship, including any
+     modifications or additions to an existing work, that is intentionally
+     submitted by You to the Company for inclusion in, or documentation of, any
+     of the products owned or managed by the Company (the "Work"). For the
+     purposes of this definition, "submitted" means any form of electronic,
+     verbal, or written communication sent to the Company 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, the Company 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 the Company and to recipients of software
+   distributed by the Company 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.
+
+3. Grant of Patent License. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
+   Agreement, You hereby grant to the Company and to recipients of software
+   distributed by the Company 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 the Company, or that your
+   employer has executed a separate Corporate CLA with the Company.
+
+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 the Company 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: **NAME HERE**".
+
+8. You agree to notify the Company of any facts or circumstances of which you
+   become aware that would make these representations inaccurate in any respect.
