## 2. Grant of Copyright License

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, You hereby grant to the Project Owner 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. This license includes, without limitation, the right to sublicense, assign, and transfer these rights to any third party, including without limitation any successor, assignee, or acquiring entity of the Project or the Project Owner, and to use Your Contributions under any license, including proprietary or commercial licenses.

## 3. Moral Rights

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, You irrevocably waive and agree not to assert any moral rights (including rights of attribution and integrity) that You may have in Your Contributions, and agree that the Project Owner and its licensees may use, modify, and distribute Your Contributions without attribution or other obligations arising from moral rights.

## 4. Grant of Patent License

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, You hereby grant to the Project Owner a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable patent license to make, have made, use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer Your Contributions, 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 Project to which such Contribution(s) was submitted.

## 5. Representations and Warranties

You represent and warrant that:

(a) You are legally entitled to grant the above licenses.

(b) If Your employer(s) has rights to intellectual property that You create that includes Your Contributions, You have received permission to make Contributions on behalf of that employer, or that Your employer has waived such rights for Your Contributions to the Project.

(c) Each of Your Contributions is Your original creation, or You have sufficient rights to submit it under the terms of this Agreement. You agree to provide, upon request, reasonable documentation or explanation of any third-party materials included in Your Contributions.

## 6. No Warranty

Your Contributions are provided 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. You are not expected to provide support for Your Contributions, except to the extent You desire to provide support.

## 7. No Obligation

You understand that the decision to include Your Contribution in any product or project is entirely at the discretion of the Project Owner, and this Agreement does not obligate the Project Owner to use Your Contribution.

## 8. Retention of Rights

You retain ownership of the copyright in Your Contributions. This Agreement does not transfer any copyright or other intellectual property rights from You to the Project Owner. This Agreement only grants the licenses described above.

## 9. Term and Termination

This Agreement shall remain in effect indefinitely. You may terminate this Agreement prospectively by providing written notice to the Project Owner, but such termination shall not affect the licenses granted for Contributions submitted prior to the effective date of termination. The licenses granted herein for Contributions submitted prior to termination are perpetual and irrevocable.

## 10. Electronic Signature

You agree that Your electronic signature (including but not limited to typing a specific phrase in a pull request, issue, or other electronic communication) is legally binding and has the same force and effect as a handwritten signature. You consent to the use of electronic means to enter into this Agreement and acknowledge that this Agreement is enforceable as if executed in a traditional written format.

## 11. General Provisions

**Entire Agreement.** This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between You and the Project Owner with respect to Your Contributions and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous understandings regarding such subject matter.

**Severability.** If any provision of this Agreement is held to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent possible and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.

**No Waiver.** The failure of the Project Owner to enforce any provision of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of that provision or any other provision.

**Amendment.** This Agreement may only be modified by a written instrument signed by both parties. Modifications to this Agreement apply only to Contributions submitted after the modified Agreement is published and accepted by You. Prior Contributions remain governed by the version of the Agreement in effect at the time of submission.
