The OWASP Foundation

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.

and conditions:

submissions that are conspicuously marked or otherwise designated in
writing by You as "Not a Contribution."

right, title and interest in and to your Contributions. OWASP will always

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

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
