The term "contribution" means any software, documentation, materials, or other

2. You grant to ECC, and recipients of any contributions distributed by ECC,
|
|
the following rights and licenses:
|
|
|
|
a. A perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, fully
|
|
sublicensable, irrevocable right and license to reproduce, prepare
|
|
derivative works of, display, perform, sublicense, and distribute and make
|

|
license to make, have made, use, offer to sell, sell, import, transfer and
|
|
otherwise practice any contributions, in whole or in part, alone or in
|
|
combination with or included in any other contributions or any other
|
|
software, documentation, materials, or works. If any entity institutes
|
|
patent litigation against you or any other entity (including a cross-claim
|
|
or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that one of your contributions, or
|
|
any 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.
|
|
|
|
You also agree that you will not assert any moral rights in any contribution
|
|
against us, our licensees or transferees. The rights in this Section are
|
|
effective on the date a contribution is first submitted to us, even if the
|
|
submission took place before the date you agree to this Agreement. Except as
|
|
stated in this Section, as between you and us, you keep all right, title, and
|
|
interest in your contribution.
|
|
|
|
3. You represent and warrant to ECC that: (a) each of your contributions is
|
|
your original creation; (b) you are legally entitled to make your contributions
|
|
and grant the above rights and licenses to ECC; and (c) you have (or will
|
|
obtain) any permissions, whether from your employer and any other entity or
|
|
individual, necessary to make your contributions and grant the above rights and
|
|
licenses to ECC. You will provide ECC with complete details of any third-party
|
|
license or other restrictions (including intellectual property restrictions) of
|
|
which you are aware and which are associated with any part of your
|
|
contributions. You agree to notify ECC of any facts or circumstances of which
|
|
you become aware that would make these representations inaccurate in any
|
|
respect.
