Grafana Labs Software Grant and Contributor License Agreement (“Agreement”)

    Thank you for your interest in software projects stewarded by Raintank, Inc. dba Grafana Labs (“Grafana Labs”). In order to clarify the intellectual property license granted with Contributions from any person or entity, Grafana Labs must have a Contributor License Agreement (CLA) on file that has been agreed to by each Contributor, indicating agreement to the license terms below. This license is for your protection as a Contributor as well as the protection of Grafana Labs and its users; it does not change your rights to use your own Contributions for any other purpose. This Agreement allows an individual to contribute to Grafana Labs on that individual’s own behalf, or an entity (the “Corporation”) to submit Contributions to Grafana Labs, to authorize Contributions submitted by its designated employees to Grafana Labs, and to grant copyright and patent licenses thereto.

    You accept and agree to the following terms and conditions for Your present and future Contributions submitted to Grafana Labs. Except for the license granted herein to Grafana Labs and recipients of software distributed by Grafana Labs, You reserve all right, title, and interest in and to Your Contributions.

    2. Grant of Patent License. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, You hereby grant to Grafana Labs and to recipients of software distributed by Grafana Labs a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, 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, where such license applies only to those patent claims licensable by You that are necessarily infringed by Your Contribution(s) alone or by combination of Your Contribution(s) with the Work to which such Contribution(s) were submitted. If any entity institutes 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, then 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.

    3. You represent that each of Your Contributions is Your original creation (see section 7 for submissions on behalf of others).
