# Contributor License Agreement

Thank you for contributing to Case.

Case is released under two open source licenses (AGPL-3.0 for the box, MIT for
the clients) **and** is available under a separate commercial license for users
who cannot accept the AGPL. Offering that second license is only lawful if the
project holds the rights to do so for every line it ships. That is what this
agreement establishes. Without it, a single outside patch would make parts of
Case impossible to license commercially, and the whole dual-licensing model
would quietly break.

**You keep your copyright.** This is a license, not an assignment.

By contributing, you agree to the following.

## 1. Definitions

"You" means the individual or legal entity submitting the Contribution. If your
employer owns work you produce, you confirm you have their permission to submit
it, or that they have waived their rights in it.

"Contribution" means any original work of authorship you intentionally submit to
this project, in any form, including code, documentation, and configuration.

## 2. Copyright license

You grant the project maintainers and recipients of software distributed by them
a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, irrevocable copyright
license to reproduce, prepare derivative works of, publicly display, publicly
perform, sublicense, and distribute your Contribution and such derivative works.

**The right to sublicense is the operative part.** It is what allows your
Contribution to be distributed under the AGPL, under the MIT license, and under
a commercial license, without anyone having to come back and ask you again.

## 3. Patent license

You grant a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, irrevocable
(except as stated below) patent license to make, have made, use, offer to sell,
sell, import and otherwise transfer your Contribution, covering only those
patent claims you own or control that are necessarily infringed by your
Contribution alone or by its combination with the project.

If any entity brings patent litigation alleging that the project or a
Contribution infringes a patent, the patent licenses granted here to that entity
terminate as of the date the litigation is filed.

## 4. Your representations

- The Contribution is your original creation, or you have the right to submit it
  under this agreement.
- You are legally entitled to grant the licenses above.
- If your Contribution includes work you did not author, you have identified it,
  along with its license and any restrictions, in the Contribution itself.
- You are not knowingly submitting code that is subject to terms incompatible
  with the licenses in [LICENSE.md](LICENSE.md).

## 5. No obligations

You provide your Contribution "as is", without warranty of any kind. You are not
required to provide support. The project is under no obligation to merge, keep,
or ship any Contribution.

## 6. Signing

After reading this agreement, add your GitHub username on its own line to the
[`CLA-SIGNERS`](CLA-SIGNERS) file in the same pull request as your first
contribution. By making that edit, you confirm that you agree to this CLA.

That edit is the signature. No bot, external service, or account beyond the
GitHub one you already used to open the pull request. You sign once; every later
contribution is covered.

If your employer requires a corporate CLA instead, open an issue and we will
sort it out before you spend time on a patch.
