     2    Software Grant and Corporate Contributor License Agreement ("Agreement")

     5     Thank you for your interest in software from EPFL/DEDIS (Lab).
     6     In order to clarify the intellectual property license
     7     granted with Contributions from any person or entity, the Lab
     8     must have a Contributor License Agreement (CLA) on file that has been
     9     signed by each Contributor, indicating agreement to the license terms
    10     below. This license is for your protection as a Contributor as well
    11     as the protection of the Lab and its users; it does not change
    12     your rights to use your own Contributions for any other purpose.
    13  
    14     This version of the Agreement allows an entity (the "Corporation") to
    15     submit Contributions to the Lab, to authorize Contributions 
    16     submitted by its designated employees to the Lab, and to grant 
    17     copyright and patent licenses thereto.

    46     is contrary to the public benefit or inconsistent with its nonprofit
    47     status and bylaws in effect at the time of the Contribution. Except
    48     for the license granted herein to the Lab and recipients of
    49     software distributed by the Lab, You reserve all right, title,
    50     and interest in and to Your Contributions.
    51  
    52     1. Definitions.
    53  
    54        "You" (or "Your") shall mean the copyright owner or legal entity
    55        authorized by the copyright owner that is making this Agreement
    56        with the Lab. For legal entities, the entity making a
    57        Contribution and all other entities that control, are controlled by,
    58        or are under common control with that entity are considered to be a
    59        single Contributor. For the purposes of this definition, "control"
    60        means (i) the power, direct or indirect, to cause the direction or
    61        management of such entity, whether by contract or otherwise, or
    62        (ii) ownership of fifty percent (50%) or more of the outstanding
    63        shares, or (iii) beneficial ownership of such entity.
    64  
    65        "Contribution" shall mean the code, documentation or other original
    66        works of authorship expressly identified in Schedule B, as well as
    67        any original work of authorship, including
    68        any modifications or additions to an existing work, that is intentionally
    69        submitted by You to the Lab for inclusion in, or
    70        documentation of, any of the products owned or managed by the
    71        Lab (the "Work"). For the purposes of this definition,
    72        "submitted" means any form of electronic, verbal, or written
    73        communication sent to the Lab or its representatives,
    74        including but not limited to communication on electronic mailing

    76        that are managed by, or on behalf of, the Lab for the
    77        purpose of discussing and improving the Work, but excluding
    78        communication that is conspicuously marked or otherwise designated
    79        in writing by You as "Not a Contribution."
    80  
    81     2. Grant of Copyright License. Subject to the terms and conditions
    82        of this Agreement, You hereby grant to the Lab and to
    83        recipients of software distributed by the Lab a perpetual,
    84        worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
    85        copyright license to reproduce, prepare derivative works of,
    86        publicly display, publicly perform, sublicense, and distribute
    87        Your Contributions and such derivative works.

    90        this Agreement, You hereby grant to the Lab and to recipients
    91        of software distributed by the Lab a perpetual, worldwide,
    92        non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable (except as
    93        stated in this section) patent license to make, have made, use,
    94        offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer the Work,
    95        where such license applies only to those patent claims licensable
    96        by You that are necessarily infringed by Your Contribution(s)
    97        alone or by combination of Your Contribution(s) with the Work to
    98        which such Contribution(s) were submitted. If any entity institutes
    99        patent litigation against You or any other entity (including a
   100        cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that your
   101        Contribution, or the Work to which you have contributed, constitutes
   102        direct or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
   103        granted to that entity under this Agreement for that Contribution or
   104        Work shall terminate as of the date such litigation is filed.
   105  
   106     4. You represent that You are legally entitled to grant the above
   107        license. You represent further that each employee of the
   108        Corporation designated on Schedule A below (or in a subsequent
   109        written modification to that Schedule) is authorized to submit
   110        Contributions on behalf of the Corporation.
   111  
   112     5. You represent that each of Your Contributions is Your original
   113        creation (see section 7 for submissions on behalf of others).
   114  
   115     6. You are not expected to provide support for Your Contributions,
   116        except to the extent You desire to provide support. You may provide
   117        support for free, for a fee, or not at all. Unless required by
   118        applicable law or agreed to in writing, You provide Your
   119        Contributions on an "AS IS" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS
   120        OF ANY KIND, either express or implied, including, without
   121        limitation, any warranties or conditions of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT,
   122        MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
   123  
   124     7. Should You wish to submit work that is not Your original creation,
   125        You may submit it to the Lab separately from any
   126        Contribution, identifying the complete details of its source and
   127        of any license or other restriction (including, but not limited
   128        to, related patents, trademarks, and license agreements) of which
   129        you are personally aware, and conspicuously marking the work as
   130        "Submitted on behalf of a third-party: [named here]".
   131  
   132     8. It is your responsibility to notify the Lab when any change
   133        is required to the list of designated employees authorized to submit
   134        Contributions on behalf of the Corporation, or to the Corporation's
   135        Point of Contact with the Lab.
