Thank
you for your interest in contributing to the OGRE project (the "Project").
In order to clarify the intellectual property license granted with contributions
of software from any person or entity (the "Contributor"), all contributors
must agree to the following license agreement. This license is to ensure the continuity
of the project and for your protection as a Contributor of software and does not
change your right to use your own contributions for any other purpose.
The
Contributor and the OGRE project manager (past, present and future) hereby accept
and agree to the following terms and conditions:
- Your "Contributions"
means all of your past, present and future contributions of object code, source
code and documentation to the Project, however submitted to the Project, excluding
any submissions that are conspicuously marked or otherwise designated in writing
by You as "Not a Contribution."
- You hereby grant to the Project
a non-exclusive, irrevocable, worldwide, no-charge, transferable copyright license
to use, execute, prepare derivative works of, and distribute (internally and externally,
in object code and, if included in your Contributions, source code form) your
Contributions. Except for the rights granted to the Project in this paragraph,
you reserve all right, title and interest in and to your Contributions.
-
You represent that you are legally entitled to grant the above license. If your
employer(s) have rights to intellectual property that you create, you represent
that you have received permission to make the Contributions on behalf of that
employer, or that your employer has waived such rights for your Contributions
to the Project.
- 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 and trademarks)
associated with any part of your Contribution(s) (including a copy of any applicable
license agreement). You agree to notify the Project of any facts or circumstances
of which you become aware that would make your representations in this Agreement
inaccurate in any respect.
- 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. Your Contributions are provided
as-is, with all faults defects and errors, and without warranty of any kind (either
express or implied) including, without limitation, any implied warranty of
merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose and any warranty of non-infringement.
The project manager also guarantees the following to the Contributor
that the content submitted by the Contributor to the Project will always be made
available to the public as open-source under the GNU Lesser General Public License
(LGPL).
