Thank you for your interest in contributing to SocratiCode, owned and maintained by Giancarlo Erra - Altaire Limited ("We", "Us", "Our").
This Contributor License Agreement ("Agreement") applies to any Contribution you make to SocratiCode. By submitting a Contribution, you accept and agree to the following terms.
"Contribution" means any original work of authorship, including any modifications or additions to existing work, that you intentionally submit to this project. This includes code, documentation, bug fixes, and any other material submitted via pull requests, issues, patches, or any other mechanism.
"Submit" means any form of electronic or written communication sent to the project, including but not limited to pull requests, commits, issues, and comments on any of the above.
You hereby grant to Us 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 any derivative works thereof. This includes the right to license your Contributions under any license, including proprietary licenses.
You hereby grant to Us 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 the Contribution(s) were submitted.
You retain ownership of the copyright in your Contributions. This Agreement does not transfer ownership; it only grants Us the licenses described above. You are free to use your Contributions for any other purpose.
You represent that:
- Each Contribution is your original creation, or you have sufficient rights to grant the licenses in this Agreement.
- Your Contribution does not violate any third party's intellectual property rights.
- If your employer has rights to intellectual property that you create, you have received permission to make Contributions on behalf of that employer, or your employer has waived such rights.
You understand that the decision to include your Contribution in the project is entirely at Our discretion. We are not obligated to use or include any Contribution.
This CLA enables Us to dual-license SocratiCode: under the open-source AGPL-3.0 license and under a separate commercial license. Without this CLA, contributions from external authors could only be distributed under AGPL-3.0, preventing Us from offering commercial licenses that include those contributions.
By submitting a pull request to this repository, you agree to the terms of this CLA. If CLA Assistant is enabled on this repository, you will be asked to sign electronically on your first pull request.
This CLA is modeled after the Apache Individual Contributor License Agreement and adapted for SocratiCode's dual-licensing model.
