     7  Definitions. “Contribution” means any original work of authorship, including any modifications or additions to an existing work, that You intentionally submit to GolangCI for inclusion in, or documentation of, any of the products owned or managed by GolangCI (the “Work”). “Submit” means any form of electronic, verbal, or written communication sent to GolangCI 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, GolangCI 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.”

     9  Copyright License. Subject to the terms and conditions of this CLA, You hereby grant to GolangCI and to recipients of software distributed by GolangCI a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable copyright license to use, copy, reproduce, prepare derivative works of, sublicense, distribute and publicly perform and display the Contributions on any licensing terms, including without limitation: (a) open source licenses like the MIT license; and (b) binary, proprietary, or commercial licenses.
