ICLA
Carlspring Consulting & Development Ltd.
Individual Contributor License Agreement ("Agreement")
This agreement is a (reformatted) adaptation of the Apache Software Foundation ICL agreement where references to ASF have been replaced by Carlspring Consulting & Development Ltd.. We thank the ASF for allowing Carlspring Consulting & Development Ltd. to make use of their ICL agreement.
Thank you for your interest in Carlspring Consulting & Development Ltd., hereafter referred to as just Carlspring. In order to clarify the intellectual property license granted with Contributions from any person or entity, Carlspring must have a Contributor License Agreement ("CLA") on file that has been signed by each Contributor, indicating agreement to the license terms below.
This license is for your protection as a Contributor as well as the protection of Carlspring and its users; it does not change your rights to use your own Contributions for any other purpose. If you have not already done so, please complete and send an original signed Agreement to Carlspring Consulting & Development Ltd., via e-mail to carlspring@gmail.com or via regular mail to 4 Point Close, London, United Kingdom, SE10 8QS.
Please read this document carefully before signing and keep a copy for your records.

You accept and agree to the following terms and conditions for Your
present and future Contributions submitted Carlspring. In return,
Carlspring shall not use Your Contributions in a way that is contrary
to the public benefit. Except for the license granted herein to
Carlspring and recipients of software distributed by Carlspring, 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 Carlspring. 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.
"Contribution" shall mean any original work of authorship,
including any modifications or additions to an existing work, that
is intentionally submitted by You to Carlspring for inclusion in,
or documentation of, any of the products owned or managed by
Carlspring (the "Work"). For the purposes of this definition,
"submitted" means any form of electronic, verbal, or written
communication sent to Carlspring or its 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, Carlspring 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."
2. Grant of Copyright License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
this Agreement, You hereby grant to Carlspring and to recipients of
software distributed by Carlspring a perpetual, worldwide,
non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable copyright
license to reproduce, prepare derivative works of, publicly
display, publicly perform, sublicense, and distribute Your
Contributions and such derivative works.
3. Grant of Patent License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
this Agreement, You hereby grant to Carlspring and to recipients of
software distributed by Carlspring a perpetual, worldwide,
non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable (except as
stated in this section) patent license 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. You represent that you are legally entitled to grant the above
license. 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, that your employer has waived such rights for
your Contributions to Carlspring.
5. 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. 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. Should You wish to submit work that is not Your original creation,
You may submit it to Carlspring 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. You agree to notify Carlspring of any facts or circumstances of
which you become aware that would make these representations
inaccurate in any respect.
