# SocratiCode — Contributor License Agreement (CLA)
|
|
|
|
Thank you for your interest in contributing to SocratiCode, owned and maintained
|
|
by Giancarlo Erra - Altaire Limited ("We", "Us", "Our").
|
|
|
|
This Contributor License Agreement ("Agreement") applies to any Contribution
|
|
you make to SocratiCode. By submitting a Contribution, you accept and agree to
|
|
the following terms.
|
|
|
|
## 1. Definitions
|
|
|
|
**"Contribution"** means any original work of authorship, including any
|
|
modifications or additions to existing work, that you intentionally submit to
|
|
this project. This includes code, documentation, bug fixes, and any other
|
|
material submitted via pull requests, issues, patches, or any other mechanism.
|
|
|
|
**"Submit"** means any form of electronic or written communication sent to the
|
|
project, including but not limited to pull requests, commits, issues, and
|
|
comments on any of the above.
|
|
|
|
## 2. Grant of Copyright License
|
|
|
|
You hereby grant to Us 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 any derivative works thereof. This includes the right to
|
|
license your Contributions under any license, including proprietary licenses.
|
|
|
|
## 3. Grant of Patent License
|
|
|
|
You hereby grant to Us a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge,
|
|
royalty-free, irrevocable patent license to make, have made, use, offer to sell,
|
|
sell, import, and otherwise transfer your Contributions, 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 project to which the Contribution(s) were submitted.
|
|
|
|
## 4. You Retain Ownership
|
|
|
|
You retain ownership of the copyright in your Contributions. This Agreement
|
|
does not transfer ownership; it only grants Us the licenses described above.
|
|
You are free to use your Contributions for any other purpose.
|
|
|
|
## 5. Representations
|
|
|
|
You represent that:
|
|
|
|
- Each Contribution is your original creation, or you have sufficient rights
|
|
to grant the licenses in this Agreement.
|
|
- Your Contribution does not violate any third party's intellectual property
|
|
rights.
|
|
- If your employer has rights to intellectual property that you create, you
|
|
have received permission to make Contributions on behalf of that employer,
|
|
or your employer has waived such rights.
|
|
|
|
## 6. No Obligation
|
|
|
|
You understand that the decision to include your Contribution in the project
|
|
is entirely at Our discretion. We are not obligated to use or include any
|
|
Contribution.
|
|
|
|
## 7. Purpose
|
|
|
|
This CLA enables Us to dual-license SocratiCode: under the open-source
|
|
AGPL-3.0 license and under a separate commercial license. Without this CLA,
|
|
contributions from external authors could only be distributed under AGPL-3.0,
|
|
preventing Us from offering commercial licenses that include those contributions.
|
|
|
|
