FasterXML, LLC
Software Grant and Corporate Contributor License Agreement ("Agreement")
https://github.com/FasterXML/jackson/blob/master/contributor-agreement-corporate.txt
(v1)
Thank you for your interest in FasterXML, LLC ("FasterXML"). In
order to clarify the intellectual property license granted with
Contributions from any person or entity, FasterXML 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 FasterXML and its users; it does not change
your rights to use your own Contributions for any other purpose.
This version of the Agreement allows an entity (the "Corporation")
to submit Contributions to the FasterXML, to authorize
Contributions submitted by its designated employees to FasterXML,
and to grant copyright and patent licenses thereto.
If you have not already done so, please complete and sign, then
scan and email a pdf file of this Agreement to clas@fasterxml.com.
If necessary, send an original signed Agreement to FasterXML, LLC,
600 N 36th Ave, Suite 409, Seattle, WA 98103.
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 FasterXML. Except
for the license granted herein to FasterXML and recipients of
software distributed by FasterXML, 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 FasterXML. 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 the code, documentation or other
original works of authorship expressly identified in Schedule B,
as well as any original work of authorship, including any
modifications or additions to an existing work, that is
intentionally submitted by You to FasterXML for inclusion in, or
documentation of, any of the products owned or managed by
FasterXML (the "Work"). For the purposes of this definition,
"submitted" means any form of electronic, verbal, or written
communication sent to FasterXML 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, FasterXML 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 FasterXML and to
recipients of software distributed by FasterXML 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 FasterXML and to recipients
of software distributed by FasterXML 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) were 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. You represent further that each employee of the
Corporation designated on Schedule A below (or in a subsequent
written modification to that Schedule) is authorized to submit
Contributions on behalf of the Corporation.
5. You represent that each of Your Contributions is Your original
creation (see section 7 for submissions on behalf of others).
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 FasterXML 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. It is your responsibility to notify FasterXML when any change is
required to the list of designated employees authorized to
submit Contributions on behalf of the Corporation, or to the
Corporation's Point of Contact with FasterXML.
