                    Contributor License Agreement
 
 
 Thank you for your interest in The OWASP Foundation (the
 "Foundation").  In order to clarify the intellectual property license
 granted with contributions of software from any person or entity
 (the "Contributor"), the Foundation would like to have a Contributor
 License Agreement on file that has been signed by the Contributor,
 indicating agreement to the license terms below.  This license is for
 your protection as a Contributor of software to the Foundation and does
 not change your right to use your own contributions for any other purpose.
 
 If you have not already done so, please complete this Agreement and
 send it by facsimile to the Foundation at +1-208-379-1165, or send a
 photocopy by regular mail to The OWASP Foundation,
 9175 Guilford Road, Suite 300, Columbia, MD 21046, U.S.A.  Please read this
 document carefully before signing and keep the original for your records.

 You and the Foundation hereby accept and agree to the following terms
 and conditions:
 
 1. Your "Contributions" means all of your past, present and future
    contributions of source code and documentation to the
    Foundation, however submitted to the Foundation, excluding any
    submissions that are conspicuously marked or otherwise designated in
    writing by You as "Not a Contribution."
 
 2. You hereby grant to the Foundation a non-exclusive, irrevocable,
    worldwide, no-charge, transferable copyright license to use,
    execute, prepare derivative works of, and distribute (internally
    and externally, in object code and, if included in your
    Contributions, source code form) your Contributions.  Except for the
    rights granted to the Foundation in this paragraph, You reserve all
    right, title and interest in and to your Contributions. OWASP will always
    release a free and open version of anything we distribute that
    includes your Contributions.
 
 3. You represent that you are legally entitled to grant the above
    license.  If your employer(s) have rights to intellectual property
    that you create, you represent that you have received permission
    to make the Contributions on behalf of that employer, or that your
    employer has waived such rights for your Contributions to the
    Foundation.
 
 4. You represent that, except as disclosed in your Contribution
    submission(s), each of your Contributions is your original creation.
    You represent that your Contribution submission(s) include complete
    details of any license or other restriction (including, but not
    limited to, related patents and trademarks) associated with any part
    of your Contribution(s) (including a copy of any applicable license
    agreement).  You agree to notify the Foundation of any facts or
    circumstances of which you become aware that would make Your
    representations in this Agreement inaccurate in any respect.
 
 5. 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.  Your Contributions are
    provided as-is, with all faults defects and errors, and without
    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.
