Contributor License Agreement

By submitting Contribution, I understand and agree that this project and Contributions to it are public and that a record of the Contribution (including all personal information I submit with it, including my full name and email address) is maintained indefinitely and may be redistributed consistent with this project, compliance with the open source license(s) involved, and maintenance of authorship attribution.

In order to clarify the intellectual property license granted with Contributions from any person or entity, Yandex LLC ("Yandex") must have a Contributor License Agreement ("CLA") on file that has been read and adopted 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 Yandex and its users; it does not change Your rights to use Your own Contributions for any other purpose.

You accept and agree to the following terms and conditions for Your present and future Contributions submitted to Yandex. Except for the license granted herein to Yandex and recipients of software distributed by Yandex, 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 CLA with Yandex. 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 the code, documentation or any original work of authorship, including any modifications or additions to an existing work, that is intentionally submitted by You to Yandex for inclusion in, or documentation of, any of the products owned or managed by Yandex (the "Work"). For the purposes of this definition, "submitted" means any form of electronic, verbal, or written communication sent to Yandex 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, Yandex 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 CLA, You hereby grant to Yandex and to recipients of software distributed by Yandex a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable copyright license to reproduce, prepare derivative and/or composite works of, publicly display, publicly perform, sublicense, and distribute Your Contributions and such derivative works under any license or any terms and conditions.

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 CLA 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 Yandex, or that Your employer has executed a separate Corporate CLA with Yandex.

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, which are associated with any part of Your Contributions, which You legally use and have right to provide to Yandex witin Your Contribution.

6. You represent that You have all the permissions from authors (rightholders) who co-created Your Contribution fro Yandex’s use of it by all means listed herein;

7. You represent that any further use of Your Contributions by Yandex does not infringe any intellectual or moral rights of any third parties.

8. 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 herein or elsewhere 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.

9. Should You wish to submit work that is not Your original creation, You may submit it to Yandex 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]".

10. You agree to notify Yandex of any facts or circumstances of which You become aware that would make these representations inaccurate in any respect.

11. Yandex may make changes to the text of the CLA at its discretion and at any time. Changes to the CLA take effect from the date of their publication.
