Thank you for contributing your code to Oso Security, Inc (“oso”, “we”, “us”). We ask every contributor to agree to this Contributor License Agreement (“CLA”) in order to clarify what rights are being given to us. Please note that this is a license, not a transfer of ownership. Aside from the rights you grant us, you retain all rights to your contributions, including ownership. If you wish to go ahead with your contribution, please fill out the fields at the end of this agreement and sign it.
-
Submission. A contribution is any material that you submit to oso so that we may include it in our products and/or in any applicable documentation (individually, “oso Product”, and, collectively, “oso Products”). You may submit your contributions via GitHub, email, and/or Slack.
-
Copyright License. By submitting your contribution, you hereby grant to oso and to all entities who use oso Products a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive license to reproduce, create derivative works from, publicly display and perform, sublicense, and distribute your contribution and any such derivative works.
-
Patent License. You also hereby grant to oso and anyone using oso’s Products a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive patent license to make, have made, use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer any oso Product that contains or utilizes your contribution, where such license applies only to those patent claims licensable by you that are necessarily infringed by your contribution, whether alone or by combining your contribution with an oso Product or oso Products. In the event an entity initiates patent litigation against you or any other entity (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) on the grounds that your contribution or that the oso Product to which you have contributed constitutes direct or contributory patent infringement, any patent licenses granted to that entity under this agreement for that contribution and/or for that oso Product shall terminate as of the date such litigation commences.
-
Representations and Warranties. You represent and warrant that you have the authority enter into this agreement and grant the rights set forth in this agreement, and that each of your contributions is original to you and will not infringe any third party’s rights. In the event your contribution or any part thereof is subject to any license, agreement, or third-party right, you represent and warrant that you have, to the best of your knowledge, disclosed such information to oso. In the event you are an employee of an organization, you hereby represent and warrant that either (A) your employer has no rights to your contribution or (B) your employer has met one or more of the following requisites: your employer (a) has given you permission to submit that contribution on its behalf, (b) waived rights to the contribution you’re submitting, and/or (c) has entered into a separate agreement with oso.
-
Third Party Materials. Please note that, in the event you want to submit materials that are not original to you (that is, you didn’t create them independently), you may still submit them, but please follow these guidelines:
- submit such materials separately from any contribution;
- identify the party on whose behalf you are submitting such materials;
- identify the materials’ source;
- identify any and all applicable restrictions; and
- provide all relevant licensing information.
-
Updates. In the event any of the information you’ve provided turns out to be inaccurate, you will notify oso of the foregoing as soon as is commercially reasonable.
