Replying with only the information requested and the text "I Agree" is sufficient. + +Thanks, + +Andras, HA7ILM diff --git a/ICLA.txt b/ICLA.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000..2640caa --- /dev/null +++ b/ICLA.txt @@ -0,0 +1,128 @@ + Individual Contributor License Agreement ("Agreement") + +In order to clarify the intellectual property license granted +with Contributions from any person or entity, András Retzler +(hereinafter referred to as "Project Owner") must have a +Contributor License Agreement ("CLA") on file that has +been signed by each Contributor, indicating agreement to the license +terms below.
