The signing instructions named a phrase the workflow ignores, and told contributors to put it in the PR description rather than a comment - following them left a PR blocked forever. Both files now quote the action's own phrase. Drops the note that CLA Assistant still had to be set up; it is running.

# Contributor License Agreement (CLA)
|
|
|
|
**Project:** EdenText
|
|
**Maintainer / Licensor:** Steffen Becker <stffn.becker@gmail.com> (the "Maintainer")
|
|
|
|
By submitting a Contribution to this project (for example, via a pull request,
|
|
patch, or commit), You agree to the following terms for any past and future
|
|
Contributions submitted to the project.
|
|
|
|
## 1. Definitions
|
|
|
|
- **"You"** means the individual or legal entity making a Contribution.
|
|
- **"Contribution"** means any original work of authorship — including any
|
|
modifications or additions to existing work — that You intentionally submit to
|
|
the project for inclusion in, or documentation of, the software.
|
|
|
|
## 2. Copyright stays with You
|
|
|
|
You retain all right, title, and interest in and to Your Contributions. This
|
|
agreement does **not** transfer ownership of Your copyright; it only grants the
|
|
licenses below.
|
|
|
|
## 3. Copyright license grant
|
|
|
|
You grant the Maintainer, and recipients of software distributed by the
|
|
Maintainer, a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, irrevocable
|
|
copyright license to reproduce, prepare derivative works of, publicly display,
|
|
publicly perform, sublicense, and distribute Your Contributions and such
|
|
derivative works.
|
|
|
|
**Right to re-license (dual licensing).** You expressly agree that the Maintainer
|
|
may license and distribute Your Contributions, and any derivative works, under
|
|
**any license terms**, including:
|
|
|
|
- the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 (or any later version), and
|
|
- one or more **separate commercial / proprietary licenses**.
|
|
|
|
This is what allows the project to remain open source under the AGPL while also
|
|
being offered commercially.
|
|
|
|
## 4. Patent license grant
|
|
|
|
You grant the Maintainer and recipients of the software a perpetual, worldwide,
|
|
non-exclusive, royalty-free, irrevocable (except as stated below) patent license
|
|
to make, have made, use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer Your
|
|
Contributions, where such license applies only to those patent claims licensable
|
|
by You that are necessarily infringed by Your Contribution alone or by combination
|
|
of Your Contribution with the project. If any entity institutes patent litigation
|
|
alleging that Your Contribution, or the project to which You contributed,
|
|
constitutes direct or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
|
|
granted to that entity under this agreement for that Contribution terminate.
|
|
|
|
## 5. Your representations
|
|
|
|
You represent that:
|
|
|
|
1. Each Contribution is an original creation by You, **or** You have the necessary
|
|
rights to submit it under the terms of this agreement.
|
|
2. Your Contribution does not, to the best of Your knowledge, violate any third
|
|
party's copyrights, trademarks, patents, or other intellectual property rights.
|
|
3. If Your employer has rights to intellectual property You create, You have
|
|
received permission to make the Contribution on behalf of that employer, or
|
|
Your employer has waived such rights for the Contribution.
|
|
4. If any part of Your Contribution is **not** Your original work, You have
|
|
clearly identified it (e.g. its source and license) in Your submission.
|
|
|
|
## 6. No obligation
|
|
|
|
You understand that the decision to include Your Contribution in the project is at
|
|
the sole discretion of the Maintainer, and this agreement does not obligate the
|
|
Maintainer to use or incorporate Your Contribution.
|
|
|
|
## 7. No warranty
|
|
|
|
Unless required by applicable law or agreed in writing, You provide Your
|
|
Contributions on an **"AS IS"** basis, **without warranties or conditions of any
|
|
kind**, either express or implied.
|
