# Copperhead Individual Contributor License Agreement

Thank you for your interest in contributing to copperhead, a project of Chouhan Industries ("we" or "us").

This Contributor License Agreement ("Agreement") documents the rights granted by contributors to us. It is adapted from the Apache Software Foundation's Individual Contributor License Agreement v2.2. By signing this Agreement (via a pull request comment as instructed by the CLA bot), you accept and agree to the following terms and conditions for your present and future Contributions submitted to the project. Except for the licenses granted herein to us and recipients of software distributed by us, 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 us. 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.

"Contribution" shall mean any original work of authorship, including any modifications or additions to an existing work, that is intentionally submitted by You to us for inclusion in, or documentation of, the project (the "Work"). For the purposes of this definition, "submitted" means any form of electronic, verbal, or written communication sent to us or our representatives, including but not limited to communication on mailing lists, source code control systems, and issue tracking systems that are managed by, or on behalf of, us 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 us and to recipients of software distributed by 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 such derivative works. This includes the right to distribute and license Your Contributions, and derivative works thereof, under any license terms we choose, including open source licenses and commercial licenses.

## 3. Grant of Patent License

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, You hereby grant to us and to recipients of software distributed by us 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. Representations

You represent that You are legally entitled to grant the above licenses. 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 the project, or that Your employer has authorized this Agreement on Your behalf.

You represent that each of Your Contributions is Your original creation (see section 6 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.

## 5. Support

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.

## 6. Third-Party Works

Should You wish to submit work that is not Your original creation, You may submit it to us 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]".

## 7. Notification

You agree to notify us of any facts or circumstances of which You become aware that would make these representations inaccurate in any respect.
