# Lightpanda (Selecy SAS) Grant and Contributor License Agreement (“Agreement”)
This agreement is based on the Apache Software Foundation Contributor License
Agreement. (v r190612)
Thank you for your interest in software projects stewarded by Lightpanda
(Selecy SAS) (“Lightpanda”). In order to clarify the intellectual property
license granted with Contributions from any person or entity, Lightpanda must
have a Contributor License Agreement (CLA) on file that has been agreed to by
each Contributor, indicating agreement to the license terms below. This license
is for your protection as a Contributor as well as the protection of Lightpanda
and its users; it does not change your rights to use your own Contributions for
any other purpose. This Agreement allows an individual to contribute to
Lightpanda on that individuals own behalf, or an entity (the “Corporation”) to
submit Contributions to Lightpanda, to authorize Contributions submitted by its
designated employees to Lightpanda, and to grant copyright and patent licenses
thereto.
You accept and agree to the following terms and conditions for Your present and
future Contributions submitted to Lightpanda. Except for the license granted
herein to Lightpanda and recipients of software distributed by Lightpanda, You
reserve all right, title, and interest in and to Your Contributions.
1. Definitions. “You” (or “Your”) shall mean the copyright owner or legal
entity authorized by the copyright owner that is making this Agreement with
Lightpanda. 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 any work, as well as any modifications or
additions to an existing work, that is intentionally submitted by You to
Lightpanda for inclusion in, or documentation of, any of the products owned
or managed by Lightpanda (the “Work”). For the purposes of this definition,
“submitted” means any form of electronic, verbal, or written communication
sent to Lightpanda or its representatives, including but not limited to
communication on electronic mailing lists, source code control systems (such
as GitHub), and issue tracking systems that are managed by, or on behalf of,
Lightpanda 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 to Lightpanda and to recipients of software
distributed by Lightpanda 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.
3. Grant of Patent License. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, You hereby grant to Lightpanda and to recipients of software
distributed by Lightpanda a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge,
royalty-free, irrevocable (except as stated in this section) patent license
to make, have made, use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer
the Work, where such license applies only to those patent claims licensable
by You that are necessarily infringed by Your Contribution(s) alone or by
combination of Your Contribution(s) with the Work to which such
Contribution(s) were submitted. If any entity institutes 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, then
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. You represent that You are legally entitled to grant the above license. If
You are an individual, and if Your employer(s) has rights to intellectual
property that you create that includes Your Contributions, you represent
that You have received permission to make Contributions on behalf of that
employer, or that Your employer has waived such rights for your
Contributions to Lightpanda. If You are a Corporation, any individual who
makes a contribution from an account associated with You will be considered
authorized to Contribute on Your behalf.
5. You represent that each of Your Contributions is Your original creation (see
section 7 for submissions on behalf of others).
6. You are not expected to provide support for Your Contributions,except to the
extent You desire to provide support. You may provide support for free, for
a fee, or not at all. 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. Should You wish to submit work that is not Your original creation, You may
submit it to Lightpanda 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]”.
