Google Individual Contributor License Agreement
In order to clarify the intellectual property license granted with Contributions
from any person or entity, Google LLC ("Google") 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 Google; it does not change your rights
to use your own Contributions for any other purpose.
You accept and agree to the following terms and conditions for Your present
and future Contributions submitted to Google. Except for the license granted
herein to Google and recipients of software distributed by Google, You reserve
all right, title, and interest in and to Your Contributions.
Definitions.
"You" (or "Your") shall mean the copyright owner or legal entity authorized
by the copyright owner that is making this Agreement with Google. 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
Google for inclusion in, or documentation of, any of the products owned or managed
by Google (the "Work"). For the purposes of this definition, "submitted" means
any form of electronic, verbal, or written communication sent to Google 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, Google 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."
Grant of Copyright License. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
You hereby grant to Google and to recipients of software distributed by Google
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.
Grant of Patent License. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
You hereby grant to Google and to recipients of software distributed by Google
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.
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 Google, or that your employer has executed
a separate Corporate CLA with Google.
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.
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.
Should You wish to submit work that is not Your original creation, You may submit
it to Google 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]".
You agree to notify Google of any facts or circumstances of which you become
aware that would make these representations inaccurate in any respect.
