I have made this grant known to The Document Foundation and the LibreOffice project. The TDF notification appears at <http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/discuss/msg09424.html>.
If any use of my contributions to LibreOffice by Apache Projects is questioned, you can cite this grant if applicable. Likewise, before someone on AOO becomes too exercised on seeing any Apache OpenOffice contribution of mine used by the LibreOffice project, please have them be aware of the grant I have made here on the AOO dev list. I will also provide this information on a web site of mine where it may be easier to consult and reference. - Dennis PS: One difference. I replaced "recipients," below, with "parties obtaining" in the ASF Contributions grant. I don't want to churn these, but I will make that update to the LibO one also if anyone finds it preferable (and more clear). -----Original Message----- From: Dennis E. Hamilton [mailto:orc...@apache.org] Sent: Thursday, March 07, 2013 19:48 To: LOffice Developers List (libreoff...@lists.freedesktop.org) Cc: 'disc...@documentfoundation.org' Subject: Grant of License This grant does not specify any particular open-source license. My intention is to not limit in any way the licensing of works that my contributions are incorporated in. The license is self- contained for that reason. There is no conflict with how LibreOffice releases are licensed and there is nothing that has to be done about the presence of my contributions or derivatives thereof. It is also my intention that everyone having access to my contributions to LibreOffice where they are so contributed be be granted the license whether or not the contribution is accepted into LibreOffice and wherever those recipients might choose to rely on its provisions. The license makes no stipulations one way or the other concerning works of mine that are not contributions to LibreOffice. The license does not transfer copyright nor does it assign patents. - Dennis -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 GrantTDF 1.00 UTF-8 dh:2013-03-07 GRANT OF LICENSE All of my past and future contributions to LibreOffice are with the following stipulations: 1.

I hereby grant to all recipients of my LibreOffice contributions a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable patent license to make, have made, use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer works employing my contributions or derivatives thereof, with such license applying only to those claims controlled by myself, now or in the future, that are necessarily infringed due to characteristics of my LibreOffice contributions and such of those that survive in derivatives.
