Individual Contributor License Agreement

Version 1.0, 2026-09-08.

Thank you for your interest in contributing to member-console. To clarify the intellectual property license granted with Contributions from any person or entity, Christian Galo (the "Maintainer") must have on file a signed Contributor License Agreement ("CLA") from each Contributor, indicating agreement with the license terms below. This Agreement is for your protection as a Contributor as well as the protection of the Maintainer and of users of the Work. It does not change your rights to use your own Contributions for any other purpose.

You accept and agree to the following terms and conditions for Your Contributions (present and future) that You Submit to the Maintainer. Except for the licenses granted herein to the Maintainer and, under Section 3, to recipients of the Work, You reserve all right, title, and interest in and to Your Contributions.

1. Definitions

"You" (or "Your") shall mean the copyright owner or legal entity authorized by the copyright owner that is making this Agreement with the Maintainer. For legal entities, the entity making a Contribution and all other entities that control, are controlled by, or are under common control with that entity are considered to be a single Contributor. For the purposes of this definition, "control" means (i) the power, direct or indirect, to cause the direction or management of such entity, whether by contract or otherwise, or (ii) ownership of fifty percent (50%) or more of the outstanding shares, or (iii) beneficial ownership of such entity.

"Work" shall mean member-console, and any other software project maintained by the Maintainer to which You Submit a Contribution.

"Contribution" shall mean any original work of authorship, including any modifications or additions to an existing work, that is intentionally Submitted by You to the Maintainer for inclusion in, or documentation of, the Work. For the purposes of this definition, "Submitted" means any form of electronic, verbal, or written communication sent to the Maintainer or the Maintainer's representatives, including but not limited to communication on electronic mailing lists, source code control systems, and issue tracking systems that are managed by, or on behalf of, the Maintainer for the purpose of discussing and improving the Work, but excluding communication that is conspicuously marked or otherwise designated in writing by You as "Not a Contribution."

"Submission Date" shall mean the date on which You Submit a Contribution to the Maintainer.

"Copyright" shall mean all rights protecting works of authorship owned or controlled by You, including copyright, moral and neighboring rights, as appropriate, for the full term of their existence including any extensions by You.

2. Grant of Copyright License

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, You hereby grant to the Maintainer a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, transferable, irrevocable license under the Copyright covering Your Contributions, with the right to sublicense such rights through multiple tiers of sublicensees, to reproduce, prepare derivative works of, publicly display, publicly perform, and distribute Your Contributions and such derivative works.

(b) To the extent that any rights under the Copyright covering Your Contributions can neither be assigned nor licensed by You, You irrevocably waive and agree never to assert such rights against the Maintainer, any of the Maintainer's successors in interest, or any of the Maintainer's licensees, either direct or indirect.

(c) If the Maintainer includes Your Contribution in the Work, the Maintainer may license the Contribution under any license, including copyleft, permissive, commercial, or proprietary licenses. As a condition on the exercise of this right, the Maintainer agrees to also license the Contribution under the terms of the license or licenses the Maintainer is using for the Work on the Submission Date.

3. Grant of Patent License

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, You hereby grant to the Maintainer and to recipients of software distributed by the Maintainer a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, transferable, irrevocable (except as stated in this section) patent license, with the right to sublicense such rights through multiple tiers of sublicensees, 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 You that are necessarily infringed by Your Contribution(s) alone or by combination of Your Contribution(s) with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was Submitted. If any entity institutes patent litigation against You or any other entity (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that Your Contribution, or the Work to which You have contributed, constitutes direct or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses granted to that entity under this Agreement for that Contribution or Work shall terminate as of the date such litigation is filed.

4. Authority

You represent that You are legally entitled to grant the above licenses. If Your employer(s) has rights to intellectual property that You create that includes Your Contributions, You represent that You have received permission to make Contributions on behalf of that employer, or that Your employer has waived such rights for Your Contributions to the Work.

5. Originality

You represent that each of Your Contributions is Your original creation (see Section 7 for submissions on behalf of others). You represent that Your Contribution submissions include complete details of any third-party license or other restriction (including, but not limited to, related patents and trademarks) of which You are personally aware and which are associated with any part of Your Contributions.

6. No Support Obligation; No Warranty

You are not expected to provide support for Your Contributions, except to the extent You desire to provide support. You may provide support for free, for a fee, or not at all. Unless required by applicable law or agreed to in writing, You provide Your Contributions on an "AS IS" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

7. Submissions on Behalf of Others

Should You wish to submit work that is not Your original creation, You may submit it to the Maintainer separately from any Contribution, identifying the complete details of its source and of any license or other restriction (including, but not limited to, related patents, trademarks, and license agreements) of which You are personally aware, and conspicuously marking the work as "Submitted on behalf of a third-party: [named here]".

8. Notice of Changed Circumstances

You agree to notify the Maintainer of any facts or circumstances of which You become aware that would make these representations inaccurate in any respect.

9. Governing Law

This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Wisconsin, United States of America, excluding its conflicts of law provisions. The parties exclude the application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods to this Agreement in its entirety.
