Contributing

Thank you for being interested in contributing to the Knockout.js project! Before we consider your pull request, there’s a little bit of housekeeping we need to sort out. Like many significant open source projects, we ask contributors to agree to our Contributor License Agreement (CLA). This ensures that the terms of your contribution are understood and agreed.

Knockout.js Contributor License Agreement

The document below clarifies the terms under which You, the person listed below, may make “Contributions” (software, bug fixes, configuration changes, documentation, or any other materials) to the project. This license protects You, the Knockout.js project and licensees; it does not change your rights to use your own Contributions for any other purpose. Please complete the following information about You and the Contributions, including any Contributions that You have already submitted to the Knockout.js project. If you have questions about these terms, please contact us at cla@knockoutjs.com.

You and the Knockout.js project agree:

License

You grant to the Knockout.js project a non-exclusive, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicenseable, transferable license under all of Your relevant intellectual property rights (including copyright, patent, and any other rights), to use, copy, prepare derivative works of, distribute and publicly perform and display the Contributions on any licensing terms, including without limitation: (a) open source licenses like the MIT license; and (b) binary, proprietary, or commercial licenses. Except for the licenses granted herein, You reserve all right, title, and interest in and to the Contribution.

You are able to grant us these rights

You represent that You are legally entitled to grant the above license. If Your employer has rights to intellectual property that You create, You represent that You have received permission to make the Contributions on behalf of that employer, or that Your employer has waived such rights for the Contributions.

The Contributions are your original work

You represent that the Contributions are Your original works of authorship, and to Your knowledge, no other person claims, or has the right to claim, any right in any invention or patent related to the Contributions. You also represent that You are not legally obligated, whether by entering into an agreement or otherwise, in any way that conflicts with the terms of this license. For example, if you have signed an agreement requiring you to assign the intellectual property rights in the Contributions to an employer or customer, that would conflict with the terms of this license.

We determine the code that is in our project

You understand that the decision to include the Contribution in any project or source repository is entirely that of the Knockout.js project, and this agreement does not guarantee that the Contributions will be included in any product.

No Implied Warranties

The Knockout.js project acknowledges that, except as explicitly described in this Agreement, the Contribution is provided 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.
