Embedthis Contributors Agreement

The Contributors Agreement governs all contributions to Embedthis Software managed projects. The Agreement is designed to ensure that you are protected and that your patches can be utilized by everyone. All patches submitted to Embedthis and subsequently included in Embedthis products are governed by this agreement.

The agreement is based on the MIT Open Source License which is approved by the Open Source Initiative (OSI). It is simple and clear and allows the use of your contributions under both the GPL and commercial licenses. You keep the copyright for your modifications, but everyone gets to enjoy the benefit of your contribution.

We cannot accept patches that are not licensed under this Contributors Agreement. NOTE: We cannot accept patches under a GPL license as this prevents us providing them to commercial customers.
