|||
|
|
# 1. Grant of Copyright License.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Subject to the terms and conditions of this agreement, You grant to the Projects’ maintainers, contributors,
|
|||
|
|
users and to Home Assistant 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. Except for this license, You reserve all rights, title, and interest in your contributions.

# 2. Grant of Patent License.
|

|
|
|
|||
|

Subject to the terms and conditions of this agreement, You grant to the Projects’ maintainers, contributors, users and to

Home Assistant 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 your contributions, where such license
|
|||
|
|
applies only to those patent claims licensable by you that are necessarily infringed by your contribution or by combination of

|||
|
|
your contribution with the project to which this contribution was submitted.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|

If any entity institutes patent litigation - including cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit - against You alleging that
|
|||
|
|
your contribution or any project it was submitted to constitutes or is responsible for direct or contributory patent infringement,
|
|||
|
|
then any patent licenses granted to that entity under this agreement shall terminate as of the date such litigation is filed.

|
|||
|
|
# 3. Source of Contribution.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Your contribution is either your original creation, based upon previous work that, to the best of your knowledge,
|
|||
|
|
is covered under an appropriate open source license and you have the right under that license to submit that work with modifications,
|
|||
|
|
whether created in whole or in part by you, or you have clearly identified the source of the contribution and any license or other
|
|||
|
|
restriction (like related patents, trademarks, and license agreements) of which you are personally aware.
