      5    Thank you for your interest in libGDX (the "Project"). In order to clarify the 
      6    intellectual property license granted with Contributions from any person or entity, Mario  
      7    Zechner and Nathan Sweet ("Project Owners") must have a Contributor License 
      8    Agreement (CLA) on file that has been signed by each Contributor, 
      9    indicating agreement to the license terms below. This license is for your 
     10    protection as a Contributor as well as the protection of Project Owners and 
     11    the Project's users; it does not change your rights to use your own Contributions 
     12    for any other purpose.
     13 
     14    This version of the Agreement allows an entity (the "Corporation") to
     15    submit Contributions to the Project, to authorize Contributions 
     16    submitted by its designated employees to the Project, and to grant 
     17    copyright and patent licenses thereto.

     54       authorized by the copyright owner that is making this Agreement
     55       with the Project Owners. For legal entities, the entity making a
     56       Contribution and all other entities that control, are controlled by,
     57       or are under common control with that entity are considered to be a

     59       means (i) the power, direct or indirect, to cause the direction or
     60       management of such entity, whether by contract or otherwise, or
     61       (ii) ownership of fifty percent (50%) or more of the outstanding
     62       shares, or (iii) beneficial ownership of such entity.
     63 
     64       "Contribution" shall mean the code, documentation or other original
     65       works of authorship expressly identified in Schedule B, as well as
     66       any original work of authorship, including
     67       any modifications or additions to an existing work, that is intentionally
     68       submitted by You to the Project Owners for inclusion in, or
     69       documentation of, any of the products owned or managed by the
     70       Project Owners (the "Work"). For the purposes of this definition,
     71       "submitted" means any form of electronic, verbal, or written
     72       communication sent to the Project Owners or its representatives,
     73       including but not limited to communication on electronic mailing

     75       that are managed by, or on behalf of, the Project Owners for the
     76       purpose of discussing and improving the Work, but excluding
     77       communication that is conspicuously marked or otherwise designated
     78       in writing by You as "Not a Contribution."
     79 
     80    2. Grant of Copyright License. Subject to the terms and conditions
     81       of this Agreement, You hereby grant to the Project Owners and to
     82       recipients of software distributed by the Project Owners a perpetual,
     83       worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
     84       copyright license to reproduce, prepare derivative works of,
     85       publicly display, publicly perform, sublicense, and distribute

     88    3. Grant of Patent License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
     89       this Agreement, You hereby grant to the Project Owners and to recipients
     90       of software distributed by the Project Owners a perpetual, worldwide,
     91       non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable (except as
     92       stated in this section) patent license to make, have made, use,
     93       offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer the Work,
     94       where such license applies only to those patent claims licensable
     95       by You that are necessarily infringed by Your Contribution(s)
     96       alone or by combination of Your Contribution(s) with the Work to
     97       which such Contribution(s) were submitted. If any entity institutes
     98       patent litigation against You or any other entity (including a
     99       cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that your
    100       Contribution, or the Work to which you have contributed, constitutes
    101       direct or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
    102       granted to that entity under this Agreement for that Contribution or
    103       Work shall terminate as of the date such litigation is filed.
    104 
    105    4. You represent that You are legally entitled to grant the above
    106       license. You represent further that each employee of the
    107       Corporation designated on Schedule A below (or in a subsequent
    108       written modification to that Schedule) is authorized to submit
    109       Contributions on behalf of the Corporation.
    110 
    111    5. You represent that each of Your Contributions is Your original
    112       creation (see section 7 for submissions on behalf of others).
    113 
    114    6. You are not expected to provide support for Your Contributions,
    115       except to the extent You desire to provide support. You may provide
    116       support for free, for a fee, or not at all. Unless required by
    117       applicable law or agreed to in writing, You provide Your
    118       Contributions on an "AS IS" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS
    119       OF ANY KIND, either express or implied, including, without
    120       limitation, any warranties or conditions of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT,
    121       MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
    122 
    123    7. Should You wish to submit work that is not Your original creation,
    124       You may submit it to the Project Owners separately from any
    125       Contribution, identifying the complete details of its source and
    126       of any license or other restriction (including, but not limited
    127       to, related patents, trademarks, and license agreements) of which
    128       you are personally aware, and conspicuously marking the work as
    129       "Submitted on behalf of a third-party: [named here]".
    130 
    131    8. It is your responsibility to notify the Project Owners when any change
    132       is required to the list of designated employees authorized to submit
    133       Contributions on behalf of the Corporation, or to the Corporation's
    134       Point of Contact with the Project Owners.
