The document below clarifies the terms under which You (the copyright owner or legal entity authorized by the copyright owner), may make "The Contributions" (software, bug fixes, configuration changes, documentation, or any other materials) to "The Work" (Eastcoast Laboratories). This license protects You, "Eastcoast Laboratories" and licensees; it does not change your rights to use your own contributions for any other purpose.
You and "Eastcoast Laboratories" agree:
• You grant to "Eastcoast Laboratories" a non-exclusive, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicenseable, relicenseable, transferable license under all of Your relevant intellectual property rights, to use, copy, prepare derivative works of, distribute and publicly perform and display "The Contributions" on any licensing terms, including without limitation: (a) open source licenses like the GNU General Public (v2.0) license; and (b) binary, proprietary, or commercial licenses. Except for the licenses granted herein, You reserve all right, title, and interest in and to "The Contributions".
• You grant to "Eastcoast Laboratories" a non-exclusive, irrevocable (except as stated in this section), worldwide, royalty-free, sublicenseable, transferable patent license to make, have made, use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer "The Work" (Eastcoast Laboratories), 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" (Eastcoast Laboratories) 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" (Eastcoast Laboratories) 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.
• You are able to grant us these rights. You represent that You are legally entitled to grant the above license(s). If Your employer has rights to intellectual property that You create, You represent that You have received permission to make "The Contributions" on behalf of that employer, or that Your employer has waived such rights for "The Contributions".
• "The Contributions" are your original work. You represent that "The Contributions" are Your original works of authorship, and to Your knowledge, no other person claims, or has the right to claim, any right in any invention or patent related to "The Contributions". You also represent that You are not legally obligated, whether by entering into an agreement or otherwise, in any way that conflicts with the terms of this license. For example, if you have signed an agreement requiring you to assign the intellectual property rights in "The Contributions" to an employer or customer, that would conflict with the terms of this license.
• We, as authoritative representatives of "Eastcoast Laboratories" determine the code that is in "The Work" (Eastcoast Laboratories). You understand that the decision to include "The Contribution(s)" in any project or source repository is entirely that of "Eastcoast Laboratories", and this agreement does not guarantee that "The Contributions" will be included in any product.
• We, as authoritative representatives of "Eastcoast Laboratories" do solemnly swear and commit back to You that the "The Project" remains freely accessible under these terms. As "The Project" continues to remain under the control of co-founders Ruben Barkow-Kuder, "The Work" (Eastcoast Laboratories) will always and forever remain publicly free and available in its entirety under the same terms as are described in the GNU General Public License (GPL) v2.0. If, at which time, Ruben Barkow-Kuder no longer retain control as co-founders of "Eastcoast Laboratories", and the licensing model for "The Project" (Eastcoast Laboratories) changes to another scheme other than the GNU General Public License (GPL) v2.0, then an effort will be made, if possible, to hand "The Project" off to a third-party under the guidance of the Free Software Foundation.
• No Implied Warranties. "Eastcoast Laboratories" acknowledges that, except as explicitly described in this Agreement, the Contribution is provided 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.
