    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 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''.
 

	
 
    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 license as set forth in Exhibit A (the ``MIT License''),
 

	
 
    * the GNU General Public License v2 or any later version (``GPL''),
 
      as published by the Free Software Foundation, Inc.,
 

	
 
    * the ``CC-By'' license as published by the Creative Commons, Inc.,
 

	
 
    * the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 United States license
 
      (``CC-By-SA''),
 

	
 
    * any other license determined to be a free software license by the
 
      Free Software Foundation (``FSF'') and approved as an open source
 
      license by the Open Source Initiative (``OSI''),
 

	
 
    * 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.
 

	
 
    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 Work, where
 
    such license applies only to those patent claims licensable by Assignor
 
    that are necessarily infringed by the Work alone or by combination of
 
    Assignor's contributions with the Work to which such contributions were
 
    submitted.
 

	
 
    Assignor hereby represents and warrants that it is the sole copyright
 
    holder for the Work assigned hereunder and that it has the right and power
 
    to enter into this contract. Assignor hereby indemnifies and holds
 
    harmless the Conservancy, its officers, employees, and agents 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, in this disclaimer of warranty,
 
    any warranty of <em>merchantability</em> or <em>fitness for a particular
 
    purpose</em>).
 

	
 

	
 
    Exhibit A
 
    The MIT License
 

	
 
    Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a
 
    copy of this software and associated documentation files (the
 
    ``Software''), to deal in the Software without restriction, including
 
    without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish,
 
    distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the Software, and to permit
 
    persons to whom the Software is furnished to do so, subject to the
