Google Individual Contributor License Agreement

+ +

In order to clarify the intellectual property license granted with + Contributions from any person or entity, Google LLC ("Google") must + have a Contributor License Agreement ("CLA") on file that has been + signed 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 Google; it does not change your rights to use + your own Contributions for any other purpose.

+ +

You accept and agree to the following terms and conditions for Your + present and future Contributions submitted to Google. Except for the + license granted herein to Google and recipients of software + distributed by Google, You reserve all right, title, and interest in + and to Your Contributions.

+ +

    Definitions.

    + +

    "You" (or "Your") shall mean the copyright owner or legal entity + authorized by the copyright owner that is making this Agreement with + Google. 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 original work of authorship, + including any modifications or additions to an existing work, that is + intentionally submitted by You to Google for inclusion in, or + documentation of, any of the products owned or managed by Google (the + "Work"). For the purposes of this definition, "submitted" means any + form of electronic, verbal, or written communication sent to Google 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, Google 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. + +

  2. Grant of Copyright License. Subject to the terms and + conditions of this Agreement, You hereby grant to Google and to + recipients of software distributed by Google 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. + +

  3. Grant of Patent License. Subject to the terms and conditions + of this Agreement, You hereby grant to Google and to recipients of + software distributed by Google 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) was + 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. + +

  4. You represent that you are legally entitled to grant the above + license. 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, that your employer has waived such rights for your + Contributions to Google, or that your employer has executed a separate + Corporate CLA with Google.

    5. + +

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

    6. + +

  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. + +

  7. Should You wish to submit work that is not Your original + creation, You may submit it to Google 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]".

    8. + +

  8. You agree to notify Google of any facts or circumstances of + which you become aware that would make these representations + inaccurate in any respect.
