 <h1>NodeJS</h1>
 <h2>Contributor License Agreement (&quot;Agreement&quot;)</h2>
 <p>
 Thank you for your interest in the NodeJS open source
 project being administered by Ryan Dahl, dba NodeJS
 (&quot;NodeJS&quot;). The form of license below is a document that
 clarifies the terms under which You, the person listed
 below, may contribute software, bug fixes, configuration
 changes, documentation, or any other materials that you send
 to us related to the Project (each a &quot;Contribution&quot;) to the
 project.  We appreciate your participation in our project,
 and your help in improving the project, so we want you to
 understand what will be done with the Contributions.  This
 license is for your protection as well as the protection of
 NodeJS and its licensees; it does not change your rights to
 use your own Contributions for any other purpose.  Please
 complete the following information about you and the
 Contributions and send us an original signed Agreement at
 <p>
 Ryan Dahl <br/>
 P.O. Box 40022 <br/>
 San Francisco, CA 94140-0022 <br/>
 U.S.A.
 <p>
 Scanned agreements may also be emailed in PDF format to
 ry@tinyclouds.org. You should also keep a copy for your own
 records.
 <p>
 If you have questions about these terms, please contact us
 at ry@tinyclouds.org.

 <h3>Corporate Contributions:</h3>
 <p>
 If you are employed as a software engineer, or if your
 employer is in the business of developing software, or
 otherwise may claim rights in the Contributions, please
 provide information about your employer's policy on
 contributing to open source projects, including the name of
 the supervisor to contact in connection with such
 contributions:

 <h3>You and NodeJS agree:</h3>
 <ol>
 <li>
 You grant us the ability to use the Contributions in any
 way.  You hereby grant to NodeJS, a non-exclusive,
 irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicenseable,
 transferable license under all of Your relevant intellectual
 property rights (including copyright, patent, and any other
 rights), to use, copy, prepare derivative works of,
 distribute and publicly perform and display the
 Contributions on any licensing terms, including without
 limitation: (a) open source licenses like the GNU General
 Public License (GPL), the GNU Lesser General Public License
 (LGPL), the Common Public License, or the Berkeley Software
 Distribution license (BSD); and (b) binary, proprietary, or
 commercial licenses.  Except for the licenses granted
 herein, You reserve all right, title, and interest in and to
 the Contribution.
 <li>
 You are able to grant us these rights.  You represent
 that You are legally entitled to grant the above license.
 If Your employer has rights to intellectual property that
 You create, You represent that You have received permission
 to make the Contributions on behalf of that employer, or
 that Your employer has waived such rights for the
 Contributions.
 <li>
 The Contributions are your original work.  You represent
 that the Contributions are Your original works of
 authorship, and to Your knowledge, no other person claims,
 or has the right to claim, any right in any invention or
 patent related to the 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 license.  For example, if you have signed
 an agreement requiring you to assign the intellectual
 property rights in the Contributions to an employer or
 customer, that would conflict with the terms of this
 license.
 <li>
 We determine the code that is in our project.  You
 understand that the decision to include the Contribution in
 any project or source repository is entirely that of NodeJS,
 and this agreement does not guarantee that the Contributions
 will be included in any product.
 <li>
 No Implied Warranties.  NodeJS acknowledges that, except
 as explicitly described in this Agreement, the Contribution
 is provided on an &quot;AS IS&quot; 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.
