  1. Grant of licence: In consideration of the mutual obligations and covenants in this Agreement, and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Contributor hereby grants to the Maintainer a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable, transferable copyright license to reproduce, prepare derivative works of, publicly display, publicly perform, use, and distribute the Contributions and such derivative works. For entities, the entity making a Contribution and all of its Affiliate(s) are considered to be a single Contributor.

  2. The Contributor represents and warrants that the Contributor itself is legally entitled to grant the above license. The Contributor represents and warrants further that each employee of the Contributor designated on Annex B below (or in a subsequent written modification to Annex B) is authorized to submit Contributions on behalf of the Contributor.

Unless required by applicable law or agreed to in writing, the Contributions are provided on an "as is" basis, with all faults, defects and errors, and without any warranty of any kind (either express or implied) including, without limitation, any implied warranty of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose and any warranty of non-infringement.

  5. The Contributor agrees to notify the Maintainer of any facts or circumstances of which the Contributor becomes aware that would make these representations inaccurate in any respect.
