Syllogism Contributor Agreement
|
||
===============================
|
||
|
||
This Syllogism Contributor Agreement (“SCA”) is based on the Oracle Contributor
|
||
Agreement. The SCA applies to any contribution that you make to any product or
|
||
project managed by us (the “project”), and sets out the intellectual property
|
||
rights you grant to us in the contributed materials. The term “us” shall mean
|
||
Syllogism Co. The term "you" shall mean the person or entity identified below.
|
||
If you agree to be bound by these terms, fill in the information requested below
|
||
and include the filled-in version with your first pull-request, under the file
|
||
contrbutors/. The name of the file should be your GitHub username, with the
|
||
extension .md. For example, the user example_user would create the file
|
||
spaCy/contributors/example_user.md .
|
||
|
||
Read this agreement carefully before signing. These terms and conditions
|
||
constitute a binding legal agreement.
|
||
|
||
1. The term 'contribution' or ‘contributed materials’ means any source code,
|
||
object code, patch, tool, sample, graphic, specification, manual, documentation,
|
||
or any other material posted or submitted by you to the project.
|
||
|
||
2. With respect to any worldwide copyrights, or copyright applications and registrations,
|
||
in your contribution:
|
||
* you hereby assign to us joint ownership, and to the extent that such assignment
|
||
is or becomes invalid, ineffective or unenforceable, you hereby grant to us a perpetual,
|
||
irrevocable, non-exclusive, worldwide, no-charge, royalty-free, unrestricted license
|
||
to exercise all rights under those copyrights. This includes, at our option, the
|
||
right to sublicense these same rights to third parties through multiple levels of
|
||
sublicensees or other licensing arrangements;
|
||
|
||
* you agree that each of us can do all things in relation to your contribution
|
||
as if each of us were the sole owners, and if one of us makes a derivative work
|
||
of your contribution, the one who makes the derivative work (or has it made) will
|
||
be the sole owner of that derivative work;
|
||
|
||
* you agree that you will not assert any moral rights in your contribution against
|
||
us, our licensees or transferees;
|
||
|
||
* you agree that we may register a copyright in your contribution and exercise
|
||
all ownership rights associated with it; and
|
||
|
||
* you agree that neither of us has any duty to consult with, obtain the consent
|
||
of, pay or render an accounting to the other for any use or distribution of your
|
||
contribution.
|
||
|
||
3. With respect to any patents you own, or that you can license without payment
|
||
to any third party, you hereby grant to us a perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive,
|
||
worldwide, no-charge, royalty-free license to:
|
||
|
||
* make, have made, use, sell, offer to sell, import, and otherwise transfer your
|
||
contribution in whole or in part, alone or in combination with
|
||
or included in any product, work or materials arising out of the project to
|
||
which your contribution was submitted, and
|
||
|
||
* at our option, to sublicense these same rights to third parties through multiple
|
||
levels of sublicensees or other licensing arrangements.
|
||
|
||
4. Except as set out above, you keep all right, title, and interest in your
|
||
contribution. The rights that you grant to us under these terms are effective on
|
||
the date you first submitted a contribution to us, even if your submission took
|
||
place before the date you sign these terms.
|
||
|
||
5. You covenant, represent, warrant and agree that:
|
||
|
||
* Each contribution that you submit is and shall be an original work of authorship
|
||
and you can legally grant the rights set out in this SCA;
|
||
|
||
* to the best of your knowledge, each contribution will not violate any third
|
||
party's copyrights, trademarks, patents, or other intellectual property rights; and
|
||
|
||
* each contribution shall be in compliance with U.S. export control laws and other
|
||
applicable export and import laws. You agree to notify us if you become aware of
|
||
any circumstance which would make any of the foregoing representations inaccurate
|
||
in any respect. Syllogism Co. may publicly disclose your participation in the project,
|
||
including the fact that you have signed the SCA.
|
||
|
||
6. This SCA is governed by the laws of the State of California and applicable U.S.
|
||
Federal law. Any choice of law rules will not apply.
|
||
|
||
7. Please place an “x” on one of the applicable statement below. Please do NOT
|
||
mark both statements:
|
||
|
||
____ I am signing on behalf of myself as an individual and no other person or entity, including my employer, has or will have rights with respect my contributions.
|
||
|
||
____ I am signing on behalf of my employer or a legal entity and I have the actual authority to contractually bind that entity.
