Tomato Contributor License Agreement

Version 1.0 — March 2026

Thank you for your interest in contributing to Tomato ("Project"), maintained by Alessio Battistutta ("Project Owner").

This Contributor License Agreement ("CLA") clarifies the terms under which you ("Contributor") may contribute to the Project. This agreement protects both you and the Project Owner, and does not change your rights to use your own contributions for any other purpose.

Please read this agreement carefully before submitting a contribution.

1. Definitions

"Contribution" means any original work of authorship, including modifications or additions to existing work, submitted by you to the Project in any form (source code, documentation, bug reports, feature requests, or any other material).

"Submit" means any form of electronic, verbal, or written communication sent to the Project, including pull requests, issues, emails, and forum posts.

2. Grant of Copyright License

Subject to the terms of this CLA, you hereby grant to Alessio Battistutta 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 derivative works thereof
  • Relicense your Contributions under any license, including commercial licenses, at the Project Owner's sole discretion

3. Grant of Patent License

Subject to the terms of this CLA, you hereby grant to Alessio Battistutta and to recipients of software distributed by the Project 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 the Project.

4. You Retain Your Copyright

This CLA does not transfer ownership of your Contribution to the Project Owner. You retain full copyright ownership of your Contribution. The licenses granted above are in addition to, not instead of, your own rights to use your Contribution.

5. Representations

By submitting a Contribution, you represent that:

  1. You have the legal right to submit the Contribution and grant the licenses above
  2. The Contribution is your original work, or you have sufficient rights to submit it
  3. The Contribution does not violate any third-party intellectual property rights
  4. If your employer has rights to intellectual property you create, you have received permission to submit the Contribution on behalf of your employer, or your employer has waived such rights for your Contribution to this Project
  5. You understand and agree that the Project and your Contribution may be made public

6. No Obligation to Use

The Project Owner is under no obligation to accept or include your Contribution in the Project. The Project Owner may choose to use, modify, or reject any Contribution at their sole discretion.

7. Disclaimer

Your Contributions are provided "AS IS", without warranty of any kind, express or implied. You are not required to provide support for your Contributions.

8. How to Sign

For minor contributions (typo fixes, small documentation edits), submitting a pull request constitutes acceptance of this CLA.

For significant contributions (new features, architectural changes, new skills), please include the following statement in your PR description or send it via email to the Project Owner at the address listed in the repository:
