Velociraptor DFIR platform: CLA

# Contributor License Agreement

We are incredibly thankful for contributions we receive from the
community. We require our external contributors to sign a Contributor
License Agreement ("CLA") in order to ensure that our projects remain
licensed under Free and Open Source licenses such as AGPLv3 or Apache
2 allowing Velocidex Innovations to build a sustainable business.

Velocidex Innovations is committed to having a true Free and Open
Source Software ("FOSS") license for our non-commercial software. A
CLA enables Velocidex Innovations to safely commercialize our products
while keeping a standard FOSS license with all the rights that license
grants to users: the ability to use the project in their own projects
or businesses, to republish modified source, or to completely fork the
project.

This page gives a human-friendly summary of our CLA, details on why we
require a CLA, how contributors can sign our CLA, and more. You may
view the full legal CLA document here.

## Human-Friendly Summary

This is a human-readable summary of (and not a substitute for) the
full agreement below. This highlights only some of key terms of the
CLA. It has no legal value and you should carefully review all the
terms of the actual CLA before agreeing (Legal Terms and Agreement
below).

* Grant of copyright license. You give Velocidex Innovations
  permission to use your copyrighted work in commercial products.

* Grant of patent license. If your contributed work uses a patent, you
  give Velocidex Innovations a license to use that patent including
  within commercial products. You also agree that you have permission
  to grant this license.

* No Warranty or Support Obligations. By making a contribution, you
  are not obligating yourself to provide support for the contribution,
  and you are not taking on any warranty obligations or providing any
  assurances about how it will perform.

The CLA does not change the terms of the standard open source license
used by our software such as AGPLv3 or Apache2. You are still free to
use our projects within your own projects or businesses, republish
modified source, and more. Please reference the appropriate license
for the project you're contributing to to learn more.

## Why Require a CLA?

Agreeing to a CLA explicitly states that you are entitled to provide a
contribution, that you cannot withdraw permission to use your
contribution at a later date, and that Velocidex Innovations has
permission to use your contribution in our commercial products.

This removes any ambiguities or uncertainties caused by not having a
CLA and allows users and customers to confidently adopt our
projects. At the same time, the CLA ensures that all contributions to
our open source projects are licensed under the project's respective
open source license, such as AGPLv3.

Requiring a CLA is a common and well-accepted practice in open
source. Major open source projects require CLAs such as Apache
Software Foundation projects, Facebook projects (such as React),
Google projects (including Go), Python, Django, and more. Each of
these projects remains licensed under permissive OSS licenses such as
MIT, Apache, BSD, and more.

# Signing the CLA

Open a pull request ("PR") to any of our open source projects to sign
the CLA. A bot will comment on the PR asking you to sign the CLA if
you haven't already.

Follow the steps given by the bot to sign the CLA. This will require
you to log in with GitHub (we only request public information from
your account) and to fill in a few additional details such as your
name and email address. We will only use this information for CLA
tracking; none of your submitted information will be used for
marketing purposes.

You only have to sign the CLA once. Once you've signed the CLA, future
contributions to any Velocidex Innovations project will not require
you to sign again.

# Legal Terms and Agreement

In order to clarify the intellectual property license granted with
Contributions from any person or entity, Velocidex Innovations
("Velocidex") must have a Contributor License Agreement ("CLA") on
file that has been signed by each Contributor, indicating agreement to
the license terms below. This license does not change your rights to
use your own Contributions for any other purpose.

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

1. Definitions. "You" (or "Your") shall mean the copyright owner or
   legal entity authorized by the copyright owner that is making this
   Agreement with Velocidex. For legal entities, the entity making a
   Contribution and all other entities that control, are controlled
   by, or are under common control with that entity are considered to
   be a single Contributor. For the purposes of this definition,
   "control" means (i) the power, direct or indirect, to cause the
   direction or management of such entity, whether by contract or
   otherwise, or (ii) ownership of fifty percent (50%) or more of the
   outstanding shares, or (iii) beneficial ownership of such entity.

   "Contribution" shall mean any original work of authorship,
   including any modifications or additions to an existing work, that
   is or previously has been intentionally submitted by You to
   Velocidex for inclusion in, or documentation of, any of the
   products owned or managed by Velocidex (the "Work"). For the
   purposes of this definition, "submitted" means any form of
   electronic, verbal, or written communication sent to Velocidex or
   its representatives, including but not limited to communication on
   electronic mailing lists, source code control systems, and issue
   tracking systems that are managed by, or on behalf of, Velocidex
   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."

   this Agreement, You hereby grant to Velocidex and to recipients of
   software distributed by Velocidex 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.
