+# OpenAdapt Corporate Contributor License Agreement
+
+**Status of this document.** This section is a note for readers and is not part
+of the Agreement.
+
+This Agreement was first published on 2026-08-27. Sign it when an employer,
+rather than the individual, owns the intellectual property in a contribution.
+An individual who owns their own work signs [`CLA.md`](CLA.md) instead. An
+employee listed on Schedule A of a signed copy of this Agreement does not also
+need to sign `CLA.md`, although the Company may still ask for a sign-off on each
+commit under the Developer Certificate of Origin.
+
+This Agreement is adapted from the Apache Software Foundation Corporate
+Contributor License Agreement V2.0
+(<https://www.apache.org/licenses/cla-corporate.txt>). The changes are: the
+recipient of the grant is MLDSAI Inc. rather than a nonprofit foundation; the
+third paragraph states how MLDSAI Inc. may use a Contribution, in place of the
+Apache paragraph about nonprofit status; Section 1 names the repositories
+covered; and Sections 9 and 10 and the signature block are additions.
+
+---
+
+## Corporate Contributor License Agreement V1.0
+
+Thank you for your interest in OpenAdapt, a project of MLDSAI Inc. (the
+"Company"). This Agreement states the intellectual property license granted with
+Contributions from a corporation, partnership, or other entity.
+
+This Agreement covers Contributions submitted by the employees and agents of the
+Corporation named in the signature block below, and designated on Schedule A.
+Complete and sign one copy of this Agreement, then send it to
+<hello@openadapt.ai>. The signatory must be authorized to bind the Corporation.
+
+You accept and agree to the following terms and conditions for the present and
+future Contributions submitted by the Corporation to the Company. You understand
+that the Company develops and distributes both open source software and
+proprietary products and services, that the Company may use the Contributions in
+either, and that the Company may license, relicense, or sublicense the Work on
+terms of its choosing, including terms that are not open source. Except for the
+license granted herein to the Company and to recipients of software distributed
+by the Company, the Corporation reserves all right, title, and interest in and
+to its 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 Company. 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.
+
+"Work" shall mean any software project owned or managed by the Company,
+including every repository of the OpenAdaptAI organization on GitHub
+(<https://github.com/OpenAdaptAI>) and any successor to such a repository.
+
+"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 Company for inclusion in, or documentation of, the Work. For the
+purposes of this definition, "submitted" means any form of electronic, verbal,
+or written communication sent to the Company 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 Company 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
+Company and to recipients of software distributed by the Company 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
+Company and to recipients of software distributed by the Company 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. Representation of entitlement
+
+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 later written update to Schedule A) is authorized to submit
+Contributions on behalf of the Corporation.
+
+### 5. Representation of original creation
+
+You represent that each Contribution is an original creation (see Section 7 for
+submissions on behalf of others). You represent that each Contribution
+submission includes complete details of any third-party license or other
+restriction (including, but not limited to, related patents and trademarks) of
+which You are aware and which is associated with any part of the Contribution.
+
+### 6. No support; no warranty
+
+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. Work that is not an original creation
+
+Should You wish to submit work that is not an original creation, You may submit
+it to the Company 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 aware, and conspicuously marking the work as "Submitted on behalf of a
+third-party: [named here]".
+
+### 8. Duty to notify
+
+It is Your responsibility to notify the Company when any change is required to
+the list of designated employees on Schedule A, or to the Corporation's point of
+contact with the Company. You agree to notify the Company of any facts or
+circumstances of which You become aware that would make these representations
+inaccurate in any respect.
+
+### 9. Effective date and scope
+
+This Agreement takes effect for the Corporation on the date the Corporation
+signs it. It applies to Contributions submitted by a designated employee on or
+after that date, and to Contributions submitted by a designated employee before

+# OpenAdapt Individual Contributor License Agreement
+
+**Status of this document.** This section is a note for readers and is not part
+of the Agreement.
+
+This Agreement was first published on 2026-08-27. It binds a Contributor only
+after that Contributor signs it, in one of the ways described under "How to
+sign" below. It has no effect on a Contributor who has not signed it, and
+signature is never implied by the act of opening a pull request. Contributions
+from a Contributor who has not signed remain governed by the inbound repository
+license (the MIT License) and by the
+[Developer Certificate of Origin 1.1](https://developercertificate.org/).
+Once a Contributor signs, Section 9 applies the Agreement to that Contributor's
+earlier Contributions as well as their later ones.
+
+This Agreement is adapted from the Apache Software Foundation Individual
+Contributor License Agreement V2.0 (<https://www.apache.org/licenses/icla.pdf>).
+The changes are: the recipient of the grant is MLDSAI Inc. rather than a
+nonprofit foundation; the second paragraph states how MLDSAI Inc. may use a
+Contribution, in place of the Apache paragraph about nonprofit status; Section 1
+names the repositories covered; and Sections 9 and 10 and the "How to sign"
+section are additions.
+
+Corporate contributors: see [`CCLA.md`](CCLA.md).

+
+## Individual Contributor License Agreement V1.0
+
+Thank you for your interest in OpenAdapt, a project of MLDSAI Inc. (the
+"Company"). This Agreement states the intellectual property license granted with
+Contributions from any person. The Company must have a signed copy of this
+Agreement on file from each Contributor. This license protects You as a
+Contributor as well as the Company and the users of the Company's software. It
+does not change Your right to use Your own Contributions for any other purpose.
+
+You accept and agree to the following terms and conditions for Your present and
+future Contributions submitted to the Company. You understand that the Company
+develops and distributes both open source software and proprietary products and
+services, that the Company may use Your Contributions in either, and that the
+Company may license, relicense, or sublicense the Work on terms of its choosing,
+including terms that are not open source. Except for the license granted herein
+to the Company and to recipients of software distributed by the Company, 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 Company. 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.
+
+"Work" shall mean any software project owned or managed by the Company,
+including every repository of the OpenAdaptAI organization on GitHub
+(<https://github.com/OpenAdaptAI>) and any successor to such a repository.
+
+"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 Company for inclusion in, or documentation of, the Work. For the
+purposes of this definition, "submitted" means any form of electronic, verbal,
+or written communication sent to the Company 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 Company 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
+Company and to recipients of software distributed by the Company 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
+Company and to recipients of software distributed by the Company 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. Representation of entitlement
+
+You represent that You are legally entitled to grant the above license. If Your
+employer(s) has rights to intellectual property that You create that includes
+Your Contributions, You represent that You have received permission to make
+Contributions on behalf of that employer, that Your employer has waived such
+rights for Your Contributions to the Company, or that Your employer has executed
+a separate Corporate Contributor License Agreement with the Company.
+
+### 5. Representation of original creation
+
+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. No support; no warranty
+
+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. Work that is not Your original creation
+
+Should You wish to submit work that is not Your original creation, You may
+submit it to the Company 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. Duty to notify
+
+You agree to notify the Company of any facts or circumstances of which You
+become aware that would make these representations inaccurate in any respect.
+
+### 9. Effective date and scope
+
+This Agreement takes effect for You on the date You sign it. It applies to Your
+Contributions submitted on or after that date, and to Your Contributions
+submitted before that date. It does not apply to a person who has not signed it.

+federal laws of Canada applicable therein, without regard to conflict of law
+principles.
