### Individual Contributor License Agreement
In order to clarify the intellectual property license granted with
Contributions from any person or entity, deps.cloud must have a Contributor
License Agreement ("CLA") on file that has been signed by each Contributor,
indicating agreement to the license terms below. This license is for your
protection as a Contributor as well as the protection of deps.cloud; it does
not change your rights to use your own Contributions for any other purpose.
You accept and agree to the following terms and conditions for Your present
and future Contributions submitted to deps.cloud. Except for the license
granted herein to deps.cloud and recipients of software distributed by
deps.cloud, You reserve all right, title, and interest in and to Your
Contributions.
1. Definitions.
"You" (or "Your") shall mean the copyright owner or legal entity authorized
by the copyright owner that is making this Agreement with deps.cloud. For
legal entities, the entity making a Contribution and all other entities
that control, are controlled by, or are under common control with that
entity are considered to be a single Contributor. For the purposes of this
definition, "control" means (i) the power, direct or indirect, to cause the
direction or management of such entity, whether by contract or otherwise,
or (ii) ownership of fifty percent (50%) or more of the outstanding shares,
or (iii) beneficial ownership of such entity.
"Contribution" shall mean any original work of authorship, including any
modifications or additions to an existing work, that is intentionally
submitted by You to deps.cloud for inclusion in, or documentation of, any
of the products owned or managed by deps.cloud (the "Work"). For the
purposes of this definition, "submitted" means any form of electronic,
verbal, or written communication sent to deps.cloud 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, deps.cloud 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."
2. Grant of Copyright License. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, You hereby grant to deps.cloud and to recipients of software
distributed by deps.cloud 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.
3. Grant of Patent License. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, You hereby grant to deps.cloud and to recipients of software
distributed by deps.cloud a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge,
royalty-free, irrevocable (except as stated in this section) patent license to
make, have made, use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer the
Work, 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 Work to which such Contribution(s) was
submitted. If any entity institutes patent litigation against You or any other
entity (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that
your Contribution, or the Work to which you have contributed, constitutes
direct or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses granted
to that entity under this Agreement for that Contribution or Work shall
terminate as of the date such litigation is filed.
4. You represent that you are legally entitled to grant the above license. If
your employer(s) has rights to intellectual property that you create that
includes your Contributions, you represent that you have received permission
to make Contributions on behalf of that employer, that your employer has waived
such rights for your Contributions to deps.cloud, or that your employer has
executed a separate Corporate CLA with deps.cloud.
5. You represent that each of Your Contributions is Your original creation (see
section 7 for submissions on behalf of others). You represent that Your
Contribution submissions include complete details of any third-party license or
other restriction (including, but not limited to, related patents and
trademarks) of which you are personally aware and which are associated with any
part of Your Contributions.
6. 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. Unless required by applicable law or agreed to in
writing, You provide Your Contributions 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.
7. Should You wish to submit work that is not Your original creation, You may
submit it to deps.cloud separately from any Contribution, identifying the
complete details of its source and of any license or other restriction
(including, but not limited to, related patents, trademarks, and license
agreements) of which you are personally aware, and conspicuously marking the
work as "Submitted on behalf of a third-party: [named here]".
8. You agree to notify deps.cloud of any facts or circumstances of which you
become aware that would make these representations inaccurate in any respect.
