Thank you for your interest in contributing to the OGRE project (the "Project"). In order to clarify the intellectual property license granted with contributions of software from any person or entity (the "Contributor"), all contributors must agree to the following license agreement. This license is to ensure the continuity of the project and for your protection as a Contributor of software and does not change your right to use your own contributions for any other purpose.

The Contributor and the OGRE project manager (past, present and future) hereby accept and agree to the following terms and conditions:

1. Your "Contributions" means all of your past, present and future contributions of object code, source code and documentation to the Project, however submitted to the Project, excluding any submissions that are conspicuously marked or otherwise designated in writing by You as "Not a Contribution."
2. You hereby grant to the Project a non-exclusive, irrevocable, worldwide, no-charge, transferable copyright license to use, execute, prepare derivative works of, and distribute (internally and externally, in object code and, if included in your Contributions, source code form) your Contributions. Except for the rights granted to the Project in this paragraph, you reserve all right, title and interest in and to your Contributions.
3. You represent that you are legally entitled to grant the above license.

You agree to notify the Project of any facts or circumstances of which you become aware that would make your representations in this Agreement inaccurate in any respect.
5. You are not expected to provide support for your Contributions, except to the extent you desire to provide support. You may provide support for free, for a fee, or not at all. Your Contributions are provided as-is, with all faults defects and errors, and without warranty of any kind (either express or implied) including, without limitation, any implied warranty of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose and any warranty of non-infringement.
