Thank you for your interest in iThink Software. In order to clarify
5
the intellectual property license granted with Contributions from
6
any person or entity, iThink Software must have a Contributor
7

8
Contributor, indicating agreement to the license terms below. This
9
license is for your protection as a Contributor as well as the
10
protection of iThink Software and its users; it does not change
11
your rights to use your own Contributions for any other purpose.
12

1. Definitions.
40

    
41
   "You" (or "Your") shall mean the copyright owner or legal entity
42
   authorized by the copyright owner that is making this Agreement
43
   with iThink Software. For legal entities, the entity making a
44
   Contribution and all other entities that control, are controlled
45
   by, or are under common control with that entity are considered to
46
   be a single Contributor. For the purposes of this definition,
47
   "control" means (i) the power, direct or indirect, to cause the
48
   direction or management of such entity, whether by contract or
49
   otherwise, or (ii) ownership of fifty percent (50%) or more of the
50
   outstanding shares, or (iii) beneficial ownership of such entity.
51

    
52
   "Contribution" shall mean any original work of authorship,
53
   including any modifications or additions to an existing work, that
54
   is intentionally submitted by You to iThink Software for inclusion
55
   in, or documentation of, any of the products owned or managed by
56
   iThink Software (the "Work"). For the purposes of this definition,
57
   "submitted" means any form of electronic, verbal, or written
58
   communication sent to iThink Software or its representatives,
59
   including but not limited to communication on electronic mailing
60
   lists, source code control systems, and issue tracking systems that
61
   are managed by, or on behalf of, iThink Software for the purpose of
62
   discussing and improving the Work, but excluding communication that
63
   is conspicuously marked or otherwise designated in writing by You
64
   as "Not a Contribution."
65

    
66
2. Grant of Copyright License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
67
   this Agreement, You hereby grant to iThink Software and to
68
   recipients of software distributed by iThink Software a perpetual,
69
   worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
70
   copyright license to reproduce, prepare derivative works of,
71
   publicly display, publicly perform, sublicense, and distribute Your
72
   Contributions and such derivative works.
73

    
74
3. Grant of Patent License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
75
   this Agreement, You hereby grant to iThink Software and to
76
   recipients of software distributed by iThink Software a perpetual,
77
   worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
78
   (except as stated in this section) patent license to make, have
79
   made, use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer the
80
   Work, where such license applies only to those patent claims
81
   licensable by You that are necessarily infringed by Your
82
   Contribution(s) alone or by combination of Your Contribution(s)
83
   with the Work to which such Contribution(s) were submitted. If any
84
   entity institutes patent litigation against You or any other entity
85
   (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging
86
   that your Contribution, or the Work to which you have contributed,
87
   constitutes direct or contributory patent infringement, then any
88
   patent licenses granted to that entity under this Agreement for
89
   that Contribution or Work shall terminate as of the date such
90
   litigation is filed.
91

    
92
4. You represent that you are legally entitled to grant the above
93
   license. If your employer(s) has rights to intellectual property
94
   that you create that includes your Contributions, you represent
95
   that you have received permission to make Contributions on behalf
96
   of that employer, that your employer has waived such rights for
97
   your Contributions to iThink Software, or that your employer has
98
   executed a separate Corporate CLA with iThink Software.
99

    
100
5. You represent that each of Your Contributions is Your original
101
   creation (see section 7 for submissions on behalf of others).  You
102
   represent that Your Contribution submissions include complete
103
   details of any third-party license or other restriction (including,
104
   but not limited to, related patents and trademarks) of which you
105
   are personally aware and which are associated with any part of Your
106
   Contributions.
107

    
108
6. You are not expected to provide support for Your Contributions,
109
   except to the extent You desire to provide support. You may provide
110
   support for free, for a fee, or not at all. Unless required by
111
   applicable law or agreed to in writing, You provide Your
112
   Contributions on an "AS IS" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS
113
   OF ANY KIND, either express or implied, including, without
114
   limitation, any warranties or conditions of TITLE, NON-
115
   INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
116

    
117
7. Should You wish to submit work that is not Your original creation,
118
   You may submit it to iThink Software separately from any
119
   Contribution, identifying the complete details of its source and of
120
   any license or other restriction (including, but not limited to,
121
   related patents, trademarks, and license agreements) of which you
122
   are personally aware, and conspicuously marking the work as
123
   "Submitted on behalf of a third-party: [named here]".
124

    
125
8. You agree to notify iThink Software of any facts or circumstances of
126
   which you become aware that would make these representations
127
   inaccurate in any respect.
