Contributor License Agreement (CLA)

AI That Runs Where Your Data Lives.

Last updated: December 2025

Important Notice: This Contributor License Agreement applies strictly to open-source software repositories owned and maintained by Scalytics. It does not apply to Apache Wayang or any other project governed by the Apache Software Foundation (ASF). Contributions to ASF projects must be submitted under the ASF’s designated ICLA.

In order to clarify the intellectual property license granted with Contributions from any person or entity, Scalytics, Inc. ("Scalytics") 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 Scalytics and its users; it does not change your rights to use your own Contributions for any other purpose.

Please read this document carefully before signing and keep a copy for your records.

1. Definitions

  • "You" (or "Your") shall mean the copyright owner or legal entity authorized by the copyright owner that is making this Agreement with Scalytics. 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.
  • "Contribution" shall mean any original work of authorship, including any modifications or additions to an existing work, that is intentionally submitted by You to Scalytics for inclusion in, or documentation of, any repository hosted under the Scalytics GitHub organization (https://github.com/scalytics) or any other software products owned or managed by Scalytics (collectively, the "Work").
  • "Submitted" means any form of electronic, verbal, or written communication sent to Scalytics or its representatives, including but not limited to communication on electronic mailing lists, source code control systems (e.g., GitHub pull requests), and issue tracking systems that are managed by, or on behalf of, Scalytics for the purpose of discussing and improving the Work.

2. Grant of Copyright License

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, You hereby grant to Scalytics and to recipients of software distributed by Scalytics 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 Scalytics and to recipients of software distributed by Scalytics 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 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. Representations and Warranties

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 Scalytics, or that your employer has executed a separate Corporate CLA with Scalytics.

You represent that each of Your Contributions is Your original creation. 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.

5. Support Disclaimer

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.

6. Duty to Notify

Should You wish to submit work that is not Your original creation, You may submit it to Scalytics 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]".

You agree to notify Scalytics of any facts or circumstances of which you become aware that would make these representations inaccurate in any respect.
