+  StrongLoop, Inc. ("StrongLoop"), You (as defined below) accept and
+  agree to the following terms and conditions for Your present and
+  future Contributions submitted to StrongLoop. Except for the license
+  granted in this Agreement to StrongLoop and recipients of software
+  distributed by StrongLoop, You reserve all right, title, and interest
+  in and to Your Contributions.
+
+  1. Definitions
+
+     "You" or "Your" shall mean the copyright owner or the individual
+     authorized by the copyright owner that is entering into this
+     Agreement with StrongLoop.
+
+     "Contribution" shall mean any original work of authorship,
+     including any modifications or additions to an existing work, that
+     is intentionally submitted by You to StrongLoop for inclusion in,
+     or documentation of, any of the products owned or managed by
+     StrongLoop ("Work"). For purposes of this definition, "submitted"
+     means any form of electronic, verbal, or written communication
+     sent to StrongLoop or its representatives, including but not
+     limited to communication or electronic mailing lists, source code
+     control systems, and issue tracking systems that are managed by,
+     or on behalf of, StrongLoop 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."
+
+  2. You Grant a Copyright License to StrongLoop
+
+     Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, You hereby
+     grant to StrongLoop and recipients of software distributed by
+     StrongLoop, 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 under any license and without any restrictions.
+
+  3. You Grant a Patent License to StrongLoop
+
+     Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, You hereby
+     grant to StrongLoop and to recipients of software distributed by

+     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 under any license and
+     without any restrictions. The patent license You grant to
+     StrongLoop under this Section applies only to those patent claims
+     licensable by You that are necessarily infringed by Your
+     Contributions(s) alone or by combination of Your Contributions(s)
+     with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was submitted. If any
+     entity institutes a 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, 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 Have the Right to Grant Licenses to StrongLoop
+
+     You represent that You are legally entitled to grant the licenses
+     in this Agreement.
+
+     If Your employer(s) has rights to intellectual property that You
+     create, You represent that You have received permission to make
+     the Contributions on behalf of that employer, that Your employer
+     has waived such rights for Your Contributions, or that Your
+     employer has executed a separate Corporate Contributor License
+     Agreement with StrongLoop.
+
+  5. The Contributions Are Your Original Work
+
+     You represent that each of Your Contributions are Your original
+     works of authorship (see Section 8 (Submissions on Behalf of
+     Others) for submission on behalf of others). You represent that to
+     Your knowledge, no other person claims, or has the right to claim,
+     any right in any intellectual property right related to Your
+     Contributions.
+
+     You also represent that You are not legally obligated, whether by
+     entering into an agreement or otherwise, in any way that conflicts
+     with the terms of this Agreement.
+
+     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 Don't Have an Obligation to Provide Support for Your Contributions
+
+     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.
+
+  6. No Warranties or Conditions
+
+     StrongLoop acknowledges that 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. Submission on Behalf of Others
+
+     If You wish to submit work that is not Your original creation, You
+     may submit it to StrongLoop 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. Agree to Notify of Change of Circumstances
+
+     You agree to notify StrongLoop of any facts or circumstances of
+     which You become aware that would make these representations
+     inaccurate in any respect. Email us at [email protected].
