+## MAPS.ME Individual Contributor License Agreement
+
+In order to clarify the intellectual property license granted with Contributions from any person
+or entity, MAPS.ME ("MAPS.ME") must have a Contributor License Agreement ("CLA") on file that has
+been signed by each Contributor, indicating agreement to the license terms below. This license is
+for your protection as a Contributor as well as the protection of MAPS.ME; it does not change your
+rights 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 MAPS.ME. Except for the license granted herein to MAPS.ME and recipients of software
+distributed by MAPS.ME, 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 MAPS.ME. 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.
+    * "Contribution" shall mean any original work of authorship, including any modifications or
+additions to an existing work, that is intentionally submitted by You to MAPS.ME for inclusion in,
+or documentation of, any of the products owned or managed by MAPS.ME (the "Work"). For the purposes
+of this definition, "submitted" means any form of electronic, verbal, or written communication sent
+to MAPS.ME 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,
+MAPS.ME 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 MAPS.ME and to recipients of software distributed by MAPS.ME 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 MAPS.ME and to recipients of software distributed by MAPS.ME 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. 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 MAPS.ME, or that your employer has executed
+a separate Corporate CLA with MAPS.ME.
+
+5. 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. 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. Should You wish to submit work that is not Your original creation, You may submit it to MAPS.ME
+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. You agree to notify MAPS.ME of any facts or circumstances of which you become aware that would
+make these representations inaccurate in any respect.
