.. _submission:

Your Submission. 
----------------------

You must agree to the terms of this Agreement before making a Submission to any 
Project. This Agreement covers any and all Submissions that You, now or in the future (except as 
described in Section 4 below), Submit to any Project. 

.. _originality:

Originality of Work. 
------------------------

You represent that each of Your Submissions is entirely Your original work. 
Should You wish to Submit materials that are not Your original work, You may Submit them separately 
to the Project if You (a) retain all copyright and license information that was in the materials as You 
received them, (b) in the description accompanying Your Submission, include the phrase "Submission 
containing materials of a third party:" followed by the names of the third party and any licenses or other 
restrictions of which You are aware, and (c) follow any other instructions in the Project's written 
guidelines concerning Submissions. 

.. _employer:

Your Employer. 
------------------------

References to "employer" in this Agreement include Your employer or anyone else 
for whom You are acting in making Your Submission, e.g. as a contractor, vendor, or agent. If Your 
Submission is made in the course of Your work for an employer or Your employer has intellectual 
property rights in Your Submission by contract or applicable law, You must secure permission from Your 
employer to make the Submission before signing this Agreement. In that case, the term "You" in this 
Agreement will refer to You and the employer collectively. If You change employers in the future and 
desire to Submit additional Submissions for the new employer, then You agree to sign a new Agreement 
and secure permission from the new employer before Submitting those Submissions. 

.. _licenses:

Licenses. 
------------------------

a. Copyright License. You grant NEDELAB, and those who receive the Submission directly or 
indirectly from NEDELAB, a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, irrevocable license in the 
Submission to reproduce, prepare derivative works of, publicly display, publicly perform, and distribute 
the Submission and such derivative works, and to sublicense any or all of the foregoing rights to third 
parties. 

b. Patent License. You grant NEDELAB, and those who receive the Submission directly or 
indirectly from NEDELAB, a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, irrevocable license under 
Your patent claims that are necessarily infringed by the Submission or the combination of the 
Submission with the Project to which it was Submitted to make, have made, use, offer to sell, sell and 
import or otherwise dispose of the Submission alone or with the Project. 

c. Other Rights Reserved. Each party reserves all rights not expressly granted in this Agreement. 
No additional licenses or rights whatsoever (including, without limitation, any implied licenses) are 
granted by implication, exhaustion, estoppel or otherwise. 

.. _warranties:

Representations and Warranties. 
---------------------------------------------

You represent that You are legally entitled to grant the above 
licenses. You represent that each of Your Submissions is entirely Your original work (except as You may 
have disclosed under Section :ref:`originality`). You represent that You have secured permission from Your employer to 
make the Submission in cases where Your Submission is made in the course of Your work for Your 
employer or Your employer has intellectual property rights in Your Submission by contract or applicable 
law. If You are signing this Agreement on behalf of Your employer, You represent and warrant that You 
have the necessary authority to bind the listed employer to the obligations contained in this Agreement. 
You are not expected to provide support for Your Submission, unless You choose to do so. UNLESS 
REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING, AND EXCEPT FOR THE WARRANTIES 
EXPRESSLY STATED IN SECTIONS :ref:`originality`, :ref:`employer`, AND :ref:`warranties`, 
THE SUBMISSION PROVIDED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS 
PROVIDED WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY WARRANTY OF 
MERCHANTABILITY, OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

contributions may be maintained indefinitely and disclosed publicly, including Your name and other
