-  Individual Contributor License Agreement
-
-  By signing this Individual Contributor License Agreement
-  ("Agreement"), and making a Contribution (as defined below) to
-  IBM Corp. ("IBM"), You (as defined below) accept and
-  agree to the following terms and conditions for Your present and
-  future Contributions submitted to IBM. Except for the license
-  granted in this Agreement to IBM and recipients of software
-  distributed by IBM, You reserve all right, title, and interest
-  in and to Your Contributions.
-
-  1. Definitions
-
-     "You" or "Your" shall mean the copyright owner or the individual
-     authorized by the copyright owner that is entering into this
-     Agreement with IBM.
-
-     "Contribution" shall mean any original work of authorship,
-     including any modifications or additions to an existing work, that
-     is intentionally submitted by You to IBM for inclusion in,
-     or documentation of, any of the products owned or managed by
-     IBM ("Work"). For purposes of this definition, "submitted"
-     means any form of electronic, verbal, or written communication
-     sent to IBM or its representatives, including but not
-     limited to communication or electronic mailing lists, source code
-     control systems, and issue tracking systems that are managed by,
-     or on behalf of, IBM 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. You Grant a Copyright License to IBM
-
-     Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, You hereby
-     grant to IBM and recipients of software distributed by
-     IBM, 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 under any license and without any restrictions.
-
-  3. You Grant a Patent License to IBM
-
-     Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, You hereby
-     grant to IBM and to recipients of software distributed by
-     IBM 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 under any license and
-     without any restrictions. The patent license You grant to
-     IBM under this Section applies only to those patent claims
-     licensable by You that are necessarily infringed by Your
-     Contributions(s) alone or by combination of Your Contributions(s)
-     with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was submitted. If any
-     entity institutes a 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, 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. You Have the Right to Grant Licenses to IBM
-
-     You represent that You are legally entitled to grant the licenses
-     in this Agreement.
-
-     If Your employer(s) has rights to intellectual property that You
-     create, You represent that You have received permission to make
-     the Contributions on behalf of that employer, that Your employer
-     has waived such rights for Your Contributions, or that Your
-     employer has executed a separate Corporate Contributor License
-     Agreement with IBM.
+**Example**
 
-  5. The Contributions Are Your Original Work
-
-     You represent that each of Your Contributions are Your original
-     works of authorship (see Section 8 (Submissions on Behalf of
-     Others) for submission on behalf of others). You represent that to
-     Your knowledge, no other person claims, or has the right to claim,
-     any right in any intellectual property right related to Your
-     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 Agreement.
-
-     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. You Don't Have an Obligation to Provide Support for Your Contributions
-
-     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.
-
-  6. No Warranties or Conditions
-
-     IBM acknowledges that 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. Submission on Behalf of Others
-
-     If You wish to submit work that is not Your original creation, You
-     may submit it to IBM 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]".
