OpenLayers Corporate Contributor License Agreement ("Agreement") v1.0
http://www.openlayers.org/ccla.txt

Thank you for your interest in the OpenLayers project, which is
presently maintained by MetaCarta, Inc. (the "Maintainer"). In order
to clarify the intellectual property license granted with
Contributions from any person or entity, the Maintainer 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 is for your protection as a Contributor as well as
the protection of the Maintainer and its users; it does not change
your rights to use your own Contributions for any other purpose.

This version of the Agreement allows an entity (the "Corporation") to
submit Contributions to the Maintainer, to authorize Contributions
submitted by its designated employees to the Maintainer, and to grant
copyright and patent licenses thereto.

If you have not already done so, please complete and send an original
signed Agreement to:

   OpenLayers care of MetaCarta
   350 Massachusetts Avenue
   Suite #450
   Cambridge, MA 02139
   U.S.A.

The signed Agreement may also be sent by facsimile to the Maintainer at:

   Attn: OpenLayers   617-663-6382

Please read this document carefully before signing and keep a copy for
your records.

You accept and agree to the following terms and conditions for Your
present and future Contributions submitted to the Maintainer.  In
return, the Maintainer shall not use Your Contributions in a way that
is contrary to the public benefit.  Except for the license granted
herein to the Maintainer and recipients of software distributed by
the Maintainer, 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 the Maintainer. 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 intentionally submitted by You to the Maintainer for inclusion
   in, or documentation of, any of the products owned or managed by
   the Maintainer (the "Work"). For the purposes of this definition,
   "submitted" means any form of electronic, verbal, or written
   communication sent to the Maintainer 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, the Maintainer 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."

2. Grant of Copyright License.  Subject to the terms and conditions of
   this Agreement, You hereby grant to the Maintainer and to
   recipients of software distributed by the Maintainer 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.

3. Grant of Patent License.  Subject to the terms and conditions of
   this Agreement, You hereby grant to the Maintainer and to
   recipients of software distributed by the Maintainer 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) was 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.

4. You represent that You are legally entitled to grant the above
   license. You represent further that each employee of the
   Corporation designated on Schedule A below (or in a subsequent
   written modification to that Schedule) is authorized to submit
   Contributions on behalf of the Corporation.

5. You represent that each of Your Contributions is Your original
   creation (see section 7 for submissions on behalf of others).  You
   represent that Your Contribution submissions include complete
   details of any third-party license or other restriction (including,
   but not limited to, related patents and trademarks) of which you
   are personally aware and which are associated with any part of Your
   Contributions.

6. 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. Unless required by
   applicable law or agreed to in writing, You provide Your
   Contributions on an "AS IS" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS
   OF ANY KIND, either express or implied, including, without
   limitation, any warranties or conditions of TITLE,
   NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
   PURPOSE.

 7. Should You wish to submit work that is not Your original creation,
    You may submit it to the Foundation separately from any
    Contribution, identifying the complete details of its source and
    of any license or other restriction (including, but not limited
    to, related patents, trademarks, and license agreements) of which
    you are personally aware, and conspicuously marking the work as
    "Submitted on behalf of a third-party: [named here]".

 8. It is your responsibility to notify the Maintainer when any change
    is required to the list of designated employees authorized to
    submit Contributions on behalf of the Corporation, or to the
    Corporation's Point of Contact with the Maintainer.
