Contributor License Agreement
Thank you for your interest in contributing to open source projects maintained by Mataki Labs LLC, doing business as Chimatic (“Chimatic”). This Contributor License Agreement (“CLA”) defines the terms under which contributions are made to Chimatic’s open source projects, including the React SDK, Node.js SDK, Python SDK, Go SDK, and notification delivery engine.
By submitting a contribution to any Chimatic open source repository hosted under github.com/chimatic-dev, you accept and agree to the following terms.
1. Definitions
“Contribution” means any original work of authorship, including any modifications or additions to existing work, that you intentionally submit to a Chimatic project for inclusion in the project. “Submit” means any form of electronic communication sent to Chimatic, including pull requests, issues with attached code, patches, and commits pushed to Chimatic-hosted repositories.
“You” (or “Your”) means the individual or legal entity making the Contribution. If the Contribution is made on behalf of a company or other legal entity, “You” includes that entity.
2. Grant of Copyright License
You hereby grant to Chimatic and to recipients of software distributed by Chimatic 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
You hereby grant to Chimatic and to recipients of software distributed by Chimatic a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable patent license to make, have made, use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer Your Contributions, where such license applies only to those patent claims licensable by You that are necessarily infringed by Your Contribution alone or by combination of Your Contribution with the project to which it was submitted.
4. Representations
You represent that:
(a) You are legally entitled to grant the above licenses. If your employer has rights to intellectual property that you create, you represent that you have received permission to make Contributions on behalf of that employer, or that your employer has waived such rights for your Contributions.
(b) Each of Your Contributions is Your original creation. If any part of Your Contribution includes materials from a third party, you represent that you have disclosed this and that the third-party materials are available under a compatible open source license.
(c) Your Contribution does not violate any law or infringe any third party’s intellectual property rights.
5. No Obligation
You understand that the decision to include Your Contribution in any project is entirely at Chimatic’s discretion. Chimatic is under no obligation to use or include Your Contribution.
6. Support
You are not expected to provide support for Your Contributions, except to the extent you desire to do so. Support, if provided, is on a voluntary basis and without warranty.
7. Notification
You agree to notify Chimatic if you become aware of any facts or circumstances that would make your representations in this CLA inaccurate.
8. Dual Licensing
You understand and agree that Chimatic may distribute its projects under multiple licenses, including proprietary licenses, and that Your Contributions may be included in versions of the project distributed under any such license. The Chimatic open source components (React SDK, Node.js SDK, Python SDK, Go SDK, and notification delivery engine) are currently distributed under the MIT License, but this CLA permits Chimatic to offer these projects under additional licenses in the future. This is a standard practice for “open core” projects and is the reason a CLA (rather than a DCO) is required.
How to Sign
Automated CLA Signing
All Chimatic open source repositories use CLA Assistant to manage CLA signatures. When you open your first pull request to a Chimatic repository:
- CLA Assistant will automatically check if you have signed the CLA
- If you haven’t signed, it will comment on your PR with a link
- Click the link and sign by commenting “I have read the CLA Document and I hereby sign the CLA” on the PR
- Your signature is recorded and all future PRs are automatically approved
Corporate Contributors
If you are making Contributions on behalf of your employer, an authorized representative of your company should sign the CLA via the same mechanism. If your company requires a separate corporate CLA, contact legal@chimatic.dev.
