percent (50%) or more of the outstanding shares or securities which vote to elect the management

their existence including any extensions by You.

this Agreement covers more than one software project, the Material means the work of authorship
to which the Contribution was Submitted. After You Submit the Contribution, it may be included
in the Material.
"Submit" means any form of electronic, verbal, or written communication sent to Us or our
representatives, including but not limited to electronic mailing lists, source code control systems,

(b) To the maximum extent permitted by the relevant law, You grant to Us a perpetual, worldwide,
non-exclusive, transferable, royalty-free, irrevocable license under the Copyright covering the
Contribution, with the right to sublicense such rights through multiple tiers of sublicensees, to
reproduce, modify, display, perform and distribute the Contribution as part of the Material; provided
that this license is conditioned upon compliance with Section 2.3.
2.2 Patent License
For patent claims including, without limitation, method, process, and apparatus claims which You or
Your Affiliates own, control or have the right to grant, now or in the future, You grant to Us a
perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, transferable, royalty-free, irrevocable patent license, with the
right to sublicense these rights to multiple tiers of sublicensees, to make, have made, use, sell, offer
for sale, import and otherwise transfer the Contribution and the Contribution in combination with the
Material (and portions of such combination). This license is granted only to the extent that the
exercise of the licensed rights infringes such patent claims; and provided that this license is
conditioned upon compliance with Section 2.3.
2.3 Outbound License
Based on the grant of rights in Sections 2.1 and 2.2, if We include Your Contribution in a Material,
We may license the Contribution under any license, including copyleft, permissive, commercial, or
proprietary licenses. As a condition on the exercise of this right, We agree to also license the
Contribution under the terms of the license or licenses which We are using for the Material on the
Submission Date.
In addition, We may use the following licenses for Media in the Contribution: Creative Commons
Attribution 3.0 (including any right to adopt any future version of a license if permitted).
2.4 Moral Rights. If moral rights apply to the Contribution, to the maximum extent permitted by law,
You waive and agree not to assert such moral rights against Us or our successors in interest, or any of
our licensees, either direct or indirect.
2.5 Our Rights. You acknowledge that We are not obligated to use Your Contribution as part of the
Material and may decide to include any Contribution We consider appropriate.

expressly reserved by You.

required to grant the rights under Section 2.

Affiliates have made to third parties.
(d) You have followed the instructions in https://github.com/srsLTE/srsLTE/wiki/Licensing-and-
contributions, if You do not own the Copyright in the entire work of authorship Submitted.

EXCEPT FOR THE EXPRESS WARRANTIES IN SECTION 3, THE CONTRIBUTION IS
PROVIDED "AS IS". MORE PARTICULARLY, ALL EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES
INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY,
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT ARE EXPRESSLY
DISCLAIMED BY YOU TO US AND BY US TO YOU. TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY SUCH
WARRANTIES CANNOT BE DISCLAIMED, SUCH WARRANTY IS LIMITED IN DURATION

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL
YOU OR US BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF ANTICIPATED SAVINGS,
LOSS OF DATA, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL AND EXEMPLARY
DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT REGARDLESS OF THE LEGAL OR
EQUITABLE THEORY (CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) UPON WHICH THE CLAIM IS
BASED.
6. Miscellaneous
6.1 This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Ireland
excluding its conflicts of law provisions. Under certain circumstances, the governing law in this
section might be superseded by the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale
of Goods ("UN Convention") and the parties intend to avoid the application of the UN Convention to
this Agreement and, thus, exclude the application of the UN Convention in its entirety to this
Agreement.
6.2 This Agreement sets out the entire agreement between You and Us for Your Contributions to Us
and overrides all other agreements or understandings.
6.3 If You or We assign the rights or obligations received through this Agreement to a third party, as a
condition of the assignment, that third party must agree in writing to abide by all the rights and
obligations in the Agreement.
6.4 The failure of either party to require performance by the other party of any provision of this
Agreement in one situation shall not affect the right of a party to require such performance at any time
in the future. A waiver of performance under a provision in one situation shall not be considered a
waiver of the performance of the provision in the future or a waiver of the provision in its entirety.
6.5 If any provision of this Agreement is found void and unenforceable, such provision will be
replaced to the extent possible with a provision that comes closest to the meaning of the original
provision and which is enforceable. The terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement shall apply
notwithstanding any failure of essential purpose of this Agreement or any limited remedy to the
maximum extent possible under law.
