  1. Definitions: “You” or “Your” shall mean the copyright owner or the legal entity authorized by the copyright owner that is entering into this Agreement with EdgeVerve. 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 the code, documentation or other original works of authorship expressly identified in Schedule B, as well as any original work of authorship, including any modifications or additions to an existing work, that is intentionally submitted by You to the EdgeVerve for inclusion in, or documentation of, any of the products owned or managed by the EdgeVerve ("Work"). For the purposes of this definition, "submitted" means any form of electronic, verbal, or written communication sent to the EdgeVerve 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, EdgeVerve 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 EdgeVerve and recipients of software distributed by EdgeVerve, 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 under any license and without any restrictions.

The patent license You grant to EdgeVerve and the recipients of the software under this Section applies only to those patent claims licensable by You that are necessarily infringed by Your Contributions(s) alone or by combination of Your Contributions(s) with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was submitted. If any entity institutes a 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, 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. Grant of License: You represent that You are legally entitled to grant the licenses under this Agreement. You represent further that every employee of the Corporation mentioned in Schedule A below (or in a subsequent written modification to that Schedule) is authorized to submit Contributions on behalf of the Corporation
  5. Original Work: You represent that each of Your Contributions are Your original works of authorship (see Section 7 - Submission on behalf of others)

EdgeVerve acknowledges that 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. Submission on behalf of others: If You wish to submit work that is not Your original creation, You may submit it to EdgeVerve 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 EdgeVerve of any facts or circumstances of which You become aware that would make these representations inaccurate in any respect. Email us at IPC@edgeverve.com.
