make a Contribution to Slicer, you represent that (i) you are
|
|
legally authorized and entitled to make such Contribution and to
|
|
grant all licenses granted in this Contribution Agreement with
|
|
respect to such Contribution; (ii) if your Contribution includes
|

|
|
U.S. confidentiality and security laws and requirements, including

|
|
perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, no charge, royalty-free,
|
|
irrevocable license to use, reproduce, make derivative works of,
|
|
display and distribute the Contribution. If your Contribution is

|
your breach of any of the terms of this Agreement.
|
|
|
|
6. YOU WARRANT THAT TO THE BEST OF YOUR KNOWLEDGE YOUR CONTRIBUTION
|
|
DOES NOT CONTAIN ANY CODE THAT REQUIRES OR PRESCRIBES AN "OPEN
|
|
SOURCE LICENSE" FOR DERIVATIVE WORKS (by way of non-limiting
|
|
example, the GNU General Public License or other so-called
|
|

|
license").
