    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 MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
    PURPOSE).
