# @imqueue Contribution Terms (v1.0)

These terms apply to every contribution to any repository of the **@imqueue**
project — the packages published under the `@imqueue` npm scope and any repository
in the imqueue GitHub organisation.

**By submitting a contribution — opening a pull request, pushing a commit, sending
a patch, or otherwise offering work for inclusion — you accept these terms in
full. If you do not agree with them, do not contribute.**

In these terms, **"Owner"** means Mykhailo Stadnyk, together with his successors,
assigns and any entity he controls (including VaryLogic s.r.o.), and
**"Contribution"** means any work of authorship — code, documentation or other
material — you submit to an @imqueue repository.

## 1. What you grant

You grant the Owner a **perpetual, worldwide, irrevocable, royalty-free,
non-exclusive, transferable and sublicensable** license to use, reproduce,
modify, adapt, publish, distribute and otherwise exploit your Contribution and
derivative works of it, **and to license and sub-license it under any terms the
Owner chooses — including commercial and proprietary (closed-source) licenses,
without any obligation to release source code.**

In plain terms: the Owner may include your Contribution in @imqueue and **sell
commercial licenses that cover it**, alongside the open-source edition.

## 2. No royalties, fees or compensation

The rights above are granted **free of charge**. You **waive** any right to
royalties, license fees, revenue share or any other compensation arising from the
Owner's use or licensing of your Contribution, including its commercial licensing,
and you agree not to seek any such payment now or in the future.

## 3. You keep your copyright

You **retain ownership** of the copyright in your Contribution and may use it
elsewhere for your own purposes. You are granting the Owner the rights in Section
1 — you are not required to transfer ownership. Your Contribution also remains
available to the public under the repository's open-source license (GPL-3.0).

## 4. Patent license

You grant the Owner and all downstream recipients a perpetual, worldwide,
royalty-free, irrevocable (except as stated) patent license to make, use, sell,
offer to sell, import and transfer your Contribution, limited to the patent claims
you can license that are necessarily infringed by your Contribution alone or in
combination with the project. If you start patent litigation alleging the project
or your Contribution infringes your patents, the patent license you received
terminates.

## 5. Your promises

You confirm that: (a) the Contribution is your own original work, or you have the
right to submit it and to grant these rights; (b) if your employer has any rights
in your work, you have their permission to contribute, or they have waived those
rights; and (c) you have identified any third-party material in your Contribution
and its license.

## 6. Moral rights

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you waive, or agree not to
exercise, any moral rights in your Contribution in a way that would prevent the
Owner from exercising the rights in Section 1. (Certain moral rights are
inalienable under Slovak/EU law; nothing here purports to transfer those.)

## 7. No obligation; "as is"

The Owner is under no obligation to use your Contribution. It is provided **"as
is"**, without warranty of any kind.

## 8. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Slovak Republic, without regard to its
conflict-of-laws rules.

**If you do not agree to all of the above, do not contribute to @imqueue.**
