FLIF (Free Lossless Image Format)
Individual Contributor License Agreement
Thank you for your interest in contributing to FLIF (Free Lossless Image Format) ("We" or "Us").
This contributor agreement ("Agreement") documents the rights granted by
contributors to Us. To make this document effective, please sign it and send
it to Us by email or electronic submission, following the instructions at
https://github.com/jonsneyers/FLIF-CLAs. This is a legally binding document,
so please read it carefully before agreeing to it. The Agreement may cover
more than one software project managed by Us.
1. Definitions
"You" means the individual who Submits a Contribution to Us.
"Contribution" means any work of authorship that is Submitted by You to Us
in which You own or assert ownership of the Copyright.
"Copyright" means all rights protecting works of authorship owned or controlled
by You, including copyright, moral and neighboring rights, as appropriate, for
the full term of their existence including any extensions by You.
"Material" means the work of authorship which is made available by Us to
third parties. When this Agreement covers more than one software project, the
Material means the work of authorship to which the Contribution was Submitted.
After You Submit the Contribution, it may be included in the Material.
"Submit" means any form of electronic, verbal, or written communication
sent to Us or our representatives, including but not limited to electronic
mailing lists, source code control systems, and issue tracking systems that
are managed by, or on behalf of, Us for the purpose of discussing and improving
the Material, but excluding communication that is conspicuously marked or
otherwise designated in writing by You as "Not a Contribution."
"Submission Date" means the date on which You Submit a Contribution to Us.
"Effective Date" means the date You execute this Agreement or the date You
first Submit a Contribution to Us, whichever is earlier.
2. Grant of Rights
2.1 Copyright License
(a) You retain ownership of the Copyright in Your Contribution and have
the same rights to use or license the Contribution which You would have had
without entering into the Agreement.
(b) To the maximum extent permitted by the relevant law, You grant to Us a
perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, transferable, royalty-free, irrevocable
license under the Copyright covering the Contribution, with the right to
sublicense such rights through multiple tiers of sublicensees, to reproduce,
modify, display, perform and distribute the Contribution as part of the
Material; provided that this license is conditioned upon compliance with
Section 2.3.
2.2 Patent License
For patent claims including, without limitation, method, process, and apparatus
claims which You own, control or have the right to grant, now or in the future,
You grant to Us a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, transferable, royalty-free,
irrevocable patent license, with the right to sublicense these rights to
multiple tiers of sublicensees, to make, have made, use, sell, offer for sale,
import and otherwise transfer the Contribution and the Contribution in combination
with the Material (and portions of such combination). This license is granted
only to the extent that the exercise of the licensed rights infringes such patent
claims; and provided that this license is conditioned upon compliance with Section 2.3.
2.3 Outbound License
As a condition on the grant of rights in Sections 2.1 and 2.2, We agree to license
the Contribution only under the terms of the license or licenses which
We are using on the Submission Date for the Material or the following additional
licenses: Apache License 2.0, GNU General Public License v3.0 or any later version,
GNU Library General Public License v2, GNU Lesser General Public License v2.1,
GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or any later version, the GNU Affero
General Public License v3 or any later version, and all other GPL-Compatible
Free Software Licenses approved by the Free Software Foundation and listed
on this website: https://gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#GPLCompatibleLicenses
(including any right to adopt any future version of a license if permitted).
2.4 Moral Rights
If moral rights apply to the Contribution, to the maximum extent permitted by law,
You waive and agree not to assert such moral rights against Us or our successors in
interest, or any of our licensees, either direct or indirect.
2.5 Our Rights.
You acknowledge that We are not obligated to use Your Contribution as part of the
Material and may decide to include any Contribution We consider appropriate.
2.6 Reservation of Rights.
Any rights not expressly licensed under this section are expressly reserved by You.
3. Agreement
You confirm that:
(a) You have the legal authority to enter into this Agreement.
(b) You own the Copyright and patent claims covering the Contribution which
are required to grant the rights under Section 2.
(c) The grant of rights under Section 2 does not violate any grant of rights
which You have made to third parties, including Your employer. If You
are an employee, You have had Your employer approve this Agreement or sign
the Entity version of this document. If You are less than eighteen years
old, please have Your parents or guardian sign the Agreement.
4. Disclaimer
EXCEPT FOR THE EXPRESS WARRANTIES IN SECTION 3, THE CONTRIBUTION IS PROVIDED
"AS IS". MORE PARTICULARLY, ALL EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES INCLUDING,
WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR
A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT ARE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMED BY YOU TO US.
TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY SUCH WARRANTIES CANNOT BE DISCLAIMED, SUCH WARRANTY IS
LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE MINIMUM PERIOD PERMITTED BY LAW.
5. Consequential Damage Waiver
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL YOU BE
LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF ANTICIPATED SAVINGS, LOSS OF DATA,
INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL AND EXEMPLARY DAMAGES ARISING
OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT REGARDLESS OF THE LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY (CONTRACT,
TORT OR OTHERWISE) UPON WHICH THE CLAIM IS BASED.
6. Miscellaneous
6.1 This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the
laws of Belgium excluding its conflicts of law provisions. Under certain
circumstances, the governing law in this section might be superseded by the
United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods
("UN Convention") and the parties intend to avoid the application of the
UN Convention to this Agreement and, thus, exclude the application of the
UN Convention in its entirety to this Agreement.
6.2 This Agreement sets out the entire agreement between You and Us for Your
Contributions to Us and overrides all other agreements or understandings.
6.3 If You or We assign the rights or obligations received through this
Agreement to a third party, as a condition of the assignment, that third
party must agree in writing to abide by all the rights and obligations in
the Agreement.
6.4 The failure of either party to require performance by the other party
of any provision of this Agreement in one situation shall not affect the
right of a party to require such performance at any time in the future.
A waiver of performance under a provision in one situation shall not be
considered a waiver of the performance of the provision in the future or
a waiver of the provision in its entirety.
6.5 If any provision of this Agreement is found void and unenforceable,
such provision will be replaced to the extent possible with a provision that
comes closest to the meaning of the original provision and which is enforceable.
The terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement shall apply
notwithstanding any failure of essential purpose of this Agreement or any
limited remedy to the maximum extent possible under law.
