Contributor terms (IP)
Accepting these terms is how contributions to Internship CRM are licensed. The same
wording is in CONTRIBUTING.md and is confirmed again on every pull request.
- Sole rights holder. All rights in Internship CRM are held by Mehmet Erşahin
(a natural person, not a company). Only the rights holder may license the software.
- Your contribution. You license your contribution under AGPL-3.0-or-later and
grant the rights holder an **exclusive, perpetual, worldwide, sub-licensable right to
use it** (assignment of economic rights where the law permits; under German copyright
law the copyright itself cannot be transferred, § 29 UrhG, so the mechanism is an
exclusive exploitation right, § 31 (3) UrhG).
- Dual licensing. You agree the rights holder may also offer your contribution under
a separate commercial license, without AGPL obligations.
- No claims. Contributions are made within the mentorship, without additional
remuneration, and give rise to **no copyright, license, fee, partnership, or equity
claim** over the application.
- Portfolio grant-back. You keep the right to present your own contributions in a
personal portfolio or for educational purposes (non-commercial).
- Originality. You confirm your contribution is your own work and does not infringe
third-party rights. Don't paste in code you don't have the right to contribute.
- Beyond the mentorship. Paid, external, or corporate contributors sign a short
written agreement instead of relying on this acceptance — see
docs/legal/cla-contributor-agreement.md.
Trademarks are not covered by the AGPL: the "Internship CRM" name, logo, and the
crm.ersah.in domain stay with the rights holder.
Accepting here covers your contributions to this platform. Individual projects may ask
you to accept their own terms when you join them, and each pull request confirms the
specific contribution it contains.
