Contributor License Agreement ("Contribution Agreement")

Thank you for your interest in the open source products made available by Lanka Data Foundation (“LDF”). In order to clarify the intellectual property license granted with Contributions by each person or entity, LDF must have a Contributor Agreement on file that has been accepted by each Contributor, indicating agreement to the license terms below. This Contribution Agreement is for your protection as a Contributor as well as the protection of LDF; it does not change your rights to use your own Contributions for any other purpose. This version of the Contributor Agreement allows You to submit Contributions to LDF, and to grant copyright and patent licenses thereto.

You accept and agree to the following terms and conditions for Your past, present and future Contributions submitted to LDF. In return, LDF may use Your Contributions in its products. Except for the license granted herein to LDF, You reserve all right, title, and interest in and to Your Contributions.

   1. “Contribution” shall mean the code, documentation or other original works of authorship, including any modifications or additions to an existing work, that is intentionally submitted by You to LDF, now or in the future, for inclusion in, or documentation of, any of the Works. For the purposes of this definition, “submitted” means any form of electronic, verbal, or written communication sent to LDF 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, LDF 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".

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 Contribution Agreement for that Contribution or Work shall terminate as of the date such litigation is filed.

4. Ability to Grant License. You represent that You are legally entitled to grant the above licenses specified in Sections 2 and 3. 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 LDF, or that your employer has executed a separate Contribution Agreement with LDF.

5. Original Creation. You represent that, except as disclosed in Your Contribution submission(s), each of Your Contributions is your original creation. You represent that Your Contribution submission(s) include complete details of any license or other restriction (including, but not limited to, related patents, copyrights and trademarks) associated with any part of Your Contribution(s) (including a copy of any applicable license agreement). You agree to promptly notify in writing LDF of any facts or circumstances of which you become aware that would make your representations in this Contribution Agreement inaccurate in any respect.

6. Warranty. 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.

7. Separate Contribution. Should You wish to submit work that is not Your original creation, You may submit it to LDF 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]".

In the event of invalidity of any provision of this Contributor Agreement, the parties agree that such invalidity shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this Contributor Agreement. This Contributor Agreement is the entire agreement between You and LDF relating to the subject matter of this Contributor Agreement which supersedes any prior agreement, whether written or oral, and may be amended only by a writing signed by both parties.
