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

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

8
|
Contributor, indicating agreement to the license terms below. This
|
9
|
license is for your protection as a Contributor as well as the

|
protection of iThink Software and its users; it does not change
|
11
|
your rights to use your own Contributions for any other purpose.

This version of the Agreement allows an entity (the "Corporation")
|

|
15
|
submitted by its designated employees to iThink Software, and to grant
|
16
|
