Thank you for your interest in iThink Software. In order to clarify
|

|
the intellectual property license granted with Contributions from

|
License Agreement ("CLA") on file that has been signed by each

|
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.
|

|

|
48
|

|

|
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
|

|
58

|
62
|

|
63
|

|
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

(except as stated in this section) patent license to make, have

79
|
made, use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer the

|
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
|

|
90
|
litigation is filed.

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
|

|
112
|

|
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
|

|
124
|
|
125
|

|
126
