# Individual Contributor License Agreement
Thank you for your interest in the Joplin applications, owned by JOPLIN,
registered in France, 3 Place Simone Veil, CS 20739 54064 Nancy (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.
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: [named 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.
