Thank you for your interest in `loopback`, an open source project

### Signing patches ###

|
Like many open source projects, we need a contributor license agreement
|
|||
|
|
from you before we can merge in your changes.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
In summary, by submitting your code, you are granting us a right to use
|
|||
|
|
that code under the terms of this Agreement, including providing it to
|
|||
|
|
others. You are also certifying that you wrote it, and that you are
|
|||
|
|
allowed to license it to us. You are not giving up your copyright in
|
|||
|
|
your work. The license does not change your rights to use your own
|
|||
|
|
contributions for any other purpose.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Contributor License Agreements are important because they define the
|
|||
|
|
chain of ownership of a piece of software. Some companies won't allow
|
|||
|
|
the use of free software without clear agreements around code ownership.
|
|||
|
|
That's why many open source projects collect similar agreements from
|
|||
|
|
contributors. The CLA here is based on the Apache CLA.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
To signify your agreement to these terms, add the following line to the
|
|||
|
|
bottom of your commit message. Use your real name and an actual e-mail
|
|||
|
|
address.

|||

Alternatively you can use the git command line to automatically add this
|
|||
|
|
line, as follows:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
$ git commit -sm "Replace rainbows by unicorns"
|
|||

|
```

|||
|

|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|

|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, You hereby
|
|||
|
|
grant to StrongLoop and recipients of software distributed by
|
|||
|
|
StrongLoop, a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge,
|
|||
|
|
royalty-free, irrevocable copyright license to reproduce, prepare

|||
|
|
derivative works of, publicly display, publicly perform,

|
|||

3. You Grant a Patent License to StrongLoop
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, You hereby
|
|||
|
|
grant to StrongLoop and to recipients of software distributed by
|
|||
|
|
StrongLoop a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge,

|
|||
|
|
licensable by You that are necessarily infringed by Your
|
|||
|
|
Contributions(s) alone or by combination of Your Contributions(s)
|
|||
|

|
|
entity institutes a 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, 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. You Have the Right to Grant Licenses to StrongLoop

|
|
You represent that You are legally entitled to grant the licenses
|

in this Agreement.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
If Your employer(s) has rights to intellectual property that You
|
|||
|
|
create, You represent that You have received permission to make
|
|||
|
|
the Contributions on behalf of that employer, that Your employer
|
|||
|
|
has waived such rights for Your Contributions, or that Your
|
|||
|
|
employer has executed a separate Corporate Contributor License
|
|||
|
|
Agreement with StrongLoop.

|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|

|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
You represent that each of Your Contributions are Your original
|
|||
|
|
works of authorship (see Section 8 (Submissions on Behalf of
|
|||
|
|
Others) for submission on behalf of others). You represent that to
|
|||
|
|
Your knowledge, no other person claims, or has the right to claim,
|
|||
|
|
any right in any intellectual property right related to Your
|
|||
|
|
Contributions.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
You also represent that You are not legally obligated, whether by
|
|||
|
|
entering into an agreement or otherwise, in any way that conflicts
|
|||
|
|
with the terms of this Agreement.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
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. You Don't Have an Obligation to Provide Support for Your Contributions
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
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.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
6. No Warranties or Conditions
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
StrongLoop acknowledges that 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
|
|||

|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
7. Submission on Behalf of Others
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
If You wish to submit work that is not Your original creation, You
|
|||
|
|
may submit it to StrongLoop 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. Agree to Notify of Change of Circumstances
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
You agree to notify StrongLoop of any facts or circumstances of
|
|||
|
|
which You become aware that would make these representations
|
|||
|
|
inaccurate in any respect. Email us at callback@strongloop.com.
