+**Determinist Ltd** 
+
+**Contributor License Agreement (“Agreement”)**
+
+Thank you for your interest in the AutoGPT open source project at [https://github.com/Significant-Gravitas/AutoGPT](https://github.com/Significant-Gravitas/AutoGPT) stewarded by Determinist Ltd (“**Determinist**”), with offices at 3rd Floor 1 Ashley Road, Altrincham, Cheshire, WA14 2DT, United Kingdom. The form of license below is a document that clarifies the terms under which You, the person listed below, may contribute software code described below (the “**Contribution**”) to the project.  We appreciate your participation in our project, and your help in improving our products, 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 Determinist and its licensees; it does not change your rights to use your own Contributions for any other purpose.        
+
+By submitting a Pull Request which modifies the content of the “autogpt\_platform” folder at [https://github.com/Significant-Gravitas/AutoGPT/tree/master/autogpt\_platform](https://github.com/Significant-Gravitas/AutoGPT/tree/master/autogpt_platform), You hereby agree:  
+
+1\.	**You grant us the ability to use the Contributions in any way**.  You hereby grant to Determinist  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 Science Division license (BSD); and (b) binary, proprietary, or commercial licenses.
+
+2\. 	**Grant of Patent License**. You hereby grant to Determinist a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, irrevocable, license, under any rights you may have, now or in the future, in any patents or patent applications, to make, have made, use, offer to sell, sell, and import products containing the Contribution or portions of the Contribution.  This license extends to patent claims that are infringed by the Contribution alone or by combination of the Contribution with other inventions.  
+
+4\. 	**Limitations on Licenses**.  The licenses granted in this Agreement will continue for the duration of the applicable patent or intellectual property right under which such license is granted.   The licenses granted in this Agreement will include the right to grant and authorize sublicenses, so long as the sublicenses are within the scope of the licenses granted in this Agreement.  Except for the licenses granted herein, You reserve all right, title, and interest in and to the Contribution.    
+
+5\. 	**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 are authorized to make the Contributions on behalf of that employer, or that Your employer has waived such rights for the Contributions.  
+
+3\.	**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.  
+
+6\.  **We determine the code that is in our products**.  You understand that the decision to include the Contribution in any product or source repository is entirely that of Determinist, and this agreement does not guarantee that the Contributions will be included in any product. 
+
+7\. **No Implied Warranties.**  Determinist acknowledges that, except as explicitly described in this Agreement, the Contribution is provided 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.

+
+## Acceptance
+
+In order to get any license under these terms, you must agree
+to them as both strict obligations and conditions to all
+your licenses.
+
+## Copyright License
+
+The licensor grants you a copyright license for the
+software to do everything you might do with the software
+that would otherwise infringe the licensor's copyright
+in it for any permitted purpose.  However, you may
+only distribute the software according to [Distribution
+License](#distribution-license) and make changes or new works
+based on the software according to [Changes and New Works
+License](#changes-and-new-works-license).
+
+## Distribution License
+
+The licensor grants you an additional copyright license
+to distribute copies of the software.  Your license
+to distribute covers distributing the software with
+changes and new works permitted by [Changes and New Works
+License](#changes-and-new-works-license).
+
+## Notices
+
+You must ensure that anyone who gets a copy of any part of
+the software from you also gets a copy of these terms or the
+URL for them above, as well as copies of any plain-text lines
+beginning with `Required Notice:` that the licensor provided
+with the software.  For example:
+
+> Required Notice: Copyright Yoyodyne, Inc. (http://example.com)
+
+## Changes and New Works License
+
+The licensor grants you an additional copyright license to
+make changes and new works based on the software for any
+permitted purpose.
+
+## Patent License
+
+The licensor grants you a patent license for the software that
+covers patent claims the licensor can license, or becomes able
+to license, that you would infringe by using the software.
+
+## Noncompete
+
+Any purpose is a permitted purpose, except for providing any
+product that competes with the software or any product the
+licensor or any of its affiliates provides using the software.
+
+## Competition
+
+Goods and services compete even when they provide functionality
+through different kinds of interfaces or for different technical
+platforms.  Applications can compete with services, libraries
+with plugins, frameworks with development tools, and so on,
+even if they're written in different programming languages
+or for different computer architectures.  Goods and services
+compete even when provided free of charge.  If you market a
+product as a practical substitute for the software or another
+product, it definitely competes.
+
+## New Products
+
+If you are using the software to provide a product that does
+not compete, but the licensor or any of its affiliates brings
+your product into competition by providing a new version of
+the software or another product using the software, you may
+continue using versions of the software available under these
+terms beforehand to provide your competing product, but not
+any later versions.
+
+## Discontinued Products
+
+You may begin using the software to compete with a product
+or service that the licensor or any of its affiliates has
+stopped providing, unless the licensor includes a plain-text
+line beginning with `Licensor Line of Business:` with the
+software that mentions that line of business.  For example:
+
+> Licensor Line of Business: YoyodyneCMS Content Management
+System (http://example.com/cms)
+
+## Sales of Business
+
+If the licensor or any of its affiliates sells a line of
+business developing the software or using the software
+to provide a product, the buyer can also enforce
+[Noncompete](#noncompete) for that product.
+
+## Fair Use
+
+You may have "fair use" rights for the software under the
+law. These terms do not limit them.
+
+## No Other Rights
+
+These terms do not allow you to sublicense or transfer any of
+your licenses to anyone else, or prevent the licensor from
+granting licenses to anyone else.  These terms do not imply
+any other licenses.
+
+## Patent Defense
+
+If you make any written claim that the software infringes or
+contributes to infringement of any patent, your patent license
+for the software granted under these terms ends immediately. If
+your company makes such a claim, your patent license ends
+immediately for work on behalf of your company.
+
+## Violations
+
+The first time you are notified in writing that you have
+violated any of these terms, or done anything with the software
+not covered by your licenses, your licenses can nonetheless
+continue if you come into full compliance with these terms,
+and take practical steps to correct past violations, within
+32 days of receiving notice.  Otherwise, all your licenses
+end immediately.
+
+## No Liability
+
+***As far as the law allows, the software comes as is, without
+any warranty or condition, and the licensor will not be liable
+to you for any damages arising out of these terms or the use
+or nature of the software, under any kind of legal claim.***
+
