Thank you for your interest in contributing to Turnstone. This Contributor License Agreement ("Agreement") is between you ("Contributor") and Patrick Buckley ("Maintainer"), and applies to all Contributions submitted to the Turnstone project at https://github.com/turnstonelabs/turnstone.

By submitting a Contribution, you agree to the following terms:

1. Definitions

2. Grant of Copyright License

You grant the Maintainer a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, irrevocable copyright license to reproduce, prepare derivative works of, publicly display, publicly perform, sublicense, and distribute your Contributions and any derivative works thereof under any license, including proprietary licenses.

3. Grant of Patent License

You grant the Maintainer a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, irrevocable patent license to make, have made, use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer your Contributions, where such license applies only to patent claims licensable by you that are necessarily infringed by your Contributions alone or in combination with the project.

4. Representations

You represent that:

• Each Contribution is your original creation and you have the legal right to grant the above licenses.
• Your Contribution does not violate any third party's intellectual property or other rights.
