+In order to clarify the intellectual property license granted with
+Contributions from any person or entity, CutDigital Enterprise Ltd.
+("the Company") 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 the Company
+and its users; it does not change your rights to use your own
+Contributions for any other purpose.
+
+Before your code can be accepted into CutDigital's open-source projects,
+you must agree to this license using CLAHub. Please read this document
+carefully before signing and keep a copy for your records.
+
+You accept and agree to the following terms and conditions for Your
+present and future Contributions submitted to the Company's open-
+source projects. Except for the license granted herein to the
+Company and recipients of software distributed by the Company,
+You reserve all right, title, and interest in and to Your
+Contributions.
+
+When you agree to this CLA, you are saying that you give the Company
+permission to redistribute Your Contributions under the Company's
+choice of terms. You also assert that you have the rights to be
+able to provide us with these permissions. The CLA says that you
+have no warranties or support obligations regarding your
+Contributions.
+
+If you have any feedback or questions about this CLA, please do not
+hesitate to contact CutDigital Enterprise Ltd.
+
+1. Definitions.
+
+   "You" (or "Your") shall mean the copyright owner or legal entity
+   authorized by the copyright owner that is making this Agreement
+   with the Company. 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 the Company for inclusion
+   in, or documentation of, any of the products owned or managed by
+   the Company (the "Work"). For the purposes of this definition,
+   "submitted" means any form of electronic, verbal, or written
+   communication sent to the Company 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, the Company 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 the Company and to
+   recipients of software distributed by the Company 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 the Company and to
+   recipients of software distributed by the Company 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, or that your employer has waived such rights for
+   your Contributions to the Company.
+
+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 the Company 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 the Company of any facts or circumstances of
+   which you become aware that would make these representations
+   inaccurate in any respect.
