### Software Grant and Corporate 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 and its
users; it does not change your rights to use your own Contributions for any
other purpose.
This version of the Agreement allows an entity (the "Corporation") to submit
Contributions to deps.cloud, to authorize Contributions submitted by its
designated employees to deps.cloud, and to grant copyright and patent licenses
thereto.
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 the code, documentation or 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. You
represent further that each employee of the Corporation designated by You is
authorized to submit Contributions on behalf of the Corporation.
5. You represent that each of Your Contributions is Your original creation
(see section 7 for submissions on behalf of others).
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. It is your responsibility to notify deps.cloud when any change is required
to the list of designated employees authorized to submit Contributions on
behalf of the Corporation, or to the Corporation's Point of Contact with
deps.cloud.
