#### International Business Machines, Inc.
##### Software Grant and Corporate Contributor License Agreement ("Agreement")

https://github.com/softlayer/softlayer-python/


Thank you for your interest in IBM’s softlayer-python project (“the Project").
In order to clarify the intellectual property license granted with
Contributions from any person or entity, IBM must have a Contributor License
Agreement (CLA) on file that has been signed 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 IBM and its users; it does not change
your rights to use your own Contributions for any other purpose.

This version of the Agreement allows an entity (the "Corporation") to submit
Contributions to the Project, to authorize Contributions submitted by its
designated employees to the Project, and to grant copyright and patent licenses
thereto.

If you have not already done so, please complete and sign, then scan and email
a PDF file of this Agreement to pjackson@softlayer.com.



Please read this document carefully before signing and keep a copy for your
records.

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

3. Grant of Patent License.

   Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
   You hereby grant to IBM and to recipients of software
   distributed by IBM a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive,
   no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable (except as
   stated in this section) patent license to make, have made, use,
   offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer the Work,
   where such license applies only to those patent claims licensable
   by You that are necessarily infringed by Your Contribution(s)
   alone or by combination of Your Contribution(s) with the Work to
   which such Contribution(s) were submitted. 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 Agreement 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.

   You represent further that each employee of the Corporation
   designated on Schedule A below (or in a subsequent written
   modification to that Schedule) is authorized to submit
   Contributions on behalf of the Corporation.

5. You represent that each of Your Contributions is Your original
   creation (see section 7 for submissions on behalf of others).

6. 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 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.

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

8. It is your responsibility to notify IBM when any change
   is required to the list of designated employees authorized to submit
   Contributions on behalf of the Corporation, or to the Corporation's
   Point of Contact with IBM.
