    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
    Conservancy’s 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).""")
