The Libvecpf Community Software Grant and Corporate Contributor License
Agreement ("Agreement")

In order to clarify the intellectual property license granted with
Contributions from any person or entity made for the benefit of the
Libvecpf Community, a Contributor License Agreement ("CLA") must be 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 the Libvecpf Maintainer,
Libvecpf Community, 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 Libvecpf Community, to authorize
Contributions submitted by its designated employees to the Libvecpf
Community, and to grant  copyright and patent licenses thereto.

If you have not already done so, please complete and send a scanned
copy of this CLA via email to the maintainer at:

powertechprev-libvecpf-cla@lists.sourceforge.net

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 Libvecpf Community.
Except for the license granted herein to the Libvecpf Community, 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. 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 the Libvecpf Community for inclusion in, or documentation of,
 any of the products owned or managed by members of the Libvecpf
 Community (the "Work"). For the purposes of this definition,
 "submitted" means any form of electronic, verbal, or written
 communication sent to members of the Libvecpf Community, 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, the Libvecpf Community 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."

 "Libvecpf Community" shall mean International Business Machines
 Corporation and other Contributors and users of Libvecpf.  Accepted
 Contributions will be made available to the Libvecpf Community at
 large through an Internet repository of the maintainer's choosing.

2. Grant of Copyright License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
this Agreement, You hereby grant to the Libvecpf Community 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 the Libvecpf Community 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).  You
represent that Your Contribution submissions include complete details
of any third-party license or other restriction (including, but not
limited to, related patents and trademarks) of which You are
personally aware and which are associated with any part of Your
Contributions.

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 the Libvecpf Community 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 the Libvecpf Maintainer 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 the Libvecpf Community.

9.  You agree that your signature, as received by e-mail, will
constitute an "original" signature of this Agreement.
