Zentyal Contributor Agreement
About the agreement
It is important for every open source project to maintain a consistent legal status on all its intellectual property, including source code, documentation, graphical materials, translations and so on. That is why contributor agreements exist.
Zentyal Contributor Agreement is based on Sun Contributor Agreement – version 1.5. The terms of the agreement basically state that:
- Your contribution is an original work
- You assign to us a joint ownership of your contribution and each of us can act as the sole owner
- We guarantee that your contribution will be made available under a free/open source license
You can download and read the full Zentyal Contributor Agreement and check out the list of contributors, that is those who have explicitly signed and send the ZCA.
We know it is a tedious task to fill, print, sign and scan or fax such a legal contract for every minor contribution. That is why we try to avoid it for most contributions by including an implicit acceptance of its terms in user registration. We only require the explicit signature of the agreement for source code contributions that will be integrated in an official Zentyal release.
