Copyright Assignment Agreement
By checking the box below and submitting this form, you (``Assignor'')
enter into this Agreement between Assignor and
the Software Freedom Conservancy, Inc., a New York nonprofit corporation
located in Brooklyn, New York, which has received recognition of exemption
from federal income tax under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue
Code and classification as a public charity (the ``Conservancy'').
By checking the box below and submitting this form, you (``Assignor'') enter
into this Agreement between Assignor and the Software Freedom Conservancy,
Inc., a New York nonprofit corporation located in Brooklyn, New York, which
has received recognition of exemption from federal income tax under Section
501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and classification as a public
charity (the ``Conservancy'').
For good and valuable consideration, receipt of which is hereby
acknowledged, Assignor hereby transfers to the Conservancy its entire
right, title, and interest (including all rights under copyright) in the
work identified by the repositories, email addresses, names, and time
periods listed above, including original code,
accompanying documentation and supporting files, changes and enhancements
to the code and accompanying files, subject to the conditions
below. The original code, files, changes and enhancements, and
modifications are herein called the ``Work''.
acknowledged, Assignor hereby transfers to the Conservancy their entire
right, title, and interest in the copyright in the works identified by the
repositories, email addresses, names, and time periods listed above (the
“Works”). To the extent that the Assignor is assigning future rights, and
the rights in future works do not vest in Conservancy upon the Works’
creation, Assignor agrees to assign, immediately following the creation, all
rights to Conservancy and irrevocably appoint Conservancy as their
attorney-in-fact to take any necessary steps to perfect Conservancy’s rights
under this Agreement.
For the purposes of this contract, a work ``based on the Work'' means any
work that in whole or in part incorporates or is derived from all or part
of the Work. The Conservancy promises that the Work and any work ``based
on the Work'' distributed by the Conservancy or its assignees will be
distributed under one or more of the following licenses:
The Conservancy will use its discretion for any relicensing of the Works
under other free and open source software licenses. Decisions about
relicensing made by Conservancy will apply to its assignees and successors.
If you have any questions about Conservancy's relicensing philosophy, and
what limitations it may have because it is a public charity, please contact
us at copyright-assignment@sfconservancy.org .

* any other license determined to be a free culture compatible
license by the Creative Commons Corporation (``Creative
Commons'') and freedomdefined.org (``Freedom Defined'').
In the event that either FSF or OSI ceases to maintain a list of approved
licenses for a period of one year and, for a period of six months, fails
to respond to a written request from the Conservancy regarding evaluation
of a new license which is not currently listed on either approved lists
(is ``Dormant''), the work may be distributed under that new license,
provided that new license is approved as a free software or open source
license by one of FSF or OSI, and the Conservancy also independently
determines the new license will allow the software to be freely copied,
modified, and redistributed by all its users (is a ``Free License''). In
the event that both FSF and OSI are Dormant, the Work may be distributed
under a license the Conservancy independently determines is a Free
Software License.
In the event that either Creative Commons or Freedom Defined is Dormant,
the Work may be distributed under that new license, provided that new
license is approved as a free culture compatible license by one of the
Creative Commons or Freedom Defined, and the Conservancy also
independently determines the new license is a Free License. In the event
that both Creative Commons and Freedom Defined are Dormant, the Work may
be distributed under a license the Conservancy independently determines is
a Free Culture License.
The Conservancy promises that any program ``based on the Work'' offered to
the public by the Conservancy or its assignees shall be offered in a
machine-readable source format, in addition to any other forms of the
Conservancy's choosing. However, the Conservancy is free to choose at its
convenience the media of distribution for the machine-readable source
format.
The Conservancy hereby grants Assignor a royalty-free non-exclusive
license to use or sub-license the interests assigned hereunder for any
purpose. The Conservancy's rights shall otherwise continue unchanged.

that are necessarily infringed by the Work alone or by combination of
Assignor's contributions with the Work to which such contributions were
that are necessarily infringed by the Works alone or by combination of
Assignor's contributions with the Works to which such contributions were
