<h1>OpenStack Project Individual Contributor License Agreement</h1>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p>Everyone should fill out an Individual Contributor License agreement. (If
|
||
|
you are covered by a Corporate Contributor License Agreement, you still need to
|
||
|
sign an individual CLA.)</p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p>If you are contributing on behalf of a company, an authorized representative
|
||
|
of your company should also sign a Corporate Contributor License Agreement.</p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p><em>In order to clarify the intellectual property license granted with
|
||
|
Contributions from any person or entity, the OpenStack Project (the "Project")
|
||
|
must have a Contributor License Agreement ("Agreement") 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 OpenStack, LLC as Project manager (the "Project Manager") and the Project
|
||
|
users; it does not change your rights to use your own Contributions for any
|
||
|
other purpose. If you have not already done so, please complete and sign this
|
||
|
Individual License Agreement by following the instructions embedded below.
|
||
|
After you fill in the required information and apply your digital signature to
|
||
|
the Agreement, the signature service will generate an email to you. You must
|
||
|
confirm your digital signature as instructed in this email to complete the
|
||
|
signing process. The signature service will then send you a signed copy of this
|
||
|
Agreement for your records.</em></p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p><em>You accept and agree to the following terms and conditions for Your
|
||
|
present and future Contributions submitted to the Project Manager. Except for
|
||
|
the license granted herein to the Project Manager and recipients of software
|
||
|
distributed by the Project Manager, You reserve all right, title, and interest
|
||
|
in and to Your Contributions.</em></p>

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.</li>

permission to make Contributions on behalf of that employer, that your

||
|
Contributor License Agreement with the Project Manager.</li>
