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'').
For good and valuable consideration, receipt of which is hereby
acknowledged, Assignor hereby transfers to the Conservancy their entire
right, title, and interest in the copyrights in the works identified by the
repositories, email addresses, names, and time periods listed above (the
“Works”), including all claims, causes of action and remedies for past,
present and future infringement. 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 appoints
Conservancy as their attorney-in-fact to take any necessary steps to perfect
Conservancys rights under this Agreement.
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 .
The Conservancy hereby grants Assignor a royalty-free non-exclusive license
to use the interests assigned hereunder for any purpose. The Conservancy's
rights shall otherwise continue unchanged.
Assignor hereby grants to the Conservancy and to recipients of software
distributed by the Conservancy a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive,
no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable patent license to make, have made,
use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer the Works, where
such license applies only to those patent claims licensable by Assignor
that are necessarily infringed by the Works alone or by combination of
Assignor's contributions with the Works to which such contributions were
submitted.
Assignor hereby represents and warrants that the email addresses and user
identities identified above are unique to the Assignor, that no one but the
Assignor has made contributions using the email addresses and user
identities identified above, that the Assignor is the sole copyright holder
for the Works assigned hereunder, and that the Assignor has the right and
power to enter into this contract. Assignor hereby indemnifies and holds
harmless the Conservancy, its officers, employees, agents, successors, and
assigns against any and all claims, actions or damages (including reasonable
attorney's fees) asserted by or paid to any party on account of a breach or
alleged breach of the foregoing warranty. Assignor makes no other express or
implied warranty (including without limitation any warranty of
MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE).""")
