<p>Each CVS module in the main twistedmatrix.com CVS Repository, located at

holder. Copyright Holder will clearly mark files within that module with a
copyright notice stating their name.</p>
<p>The License under which the Module is made available to the public will be
stated in a file at the top level of the module named LICENSE, or clearly
visible under a similar name.</p>
<p>Any repositories not so marked on twistedmatrix.com servers and
other equipment are understood to be copyrighted material with all rights
reserved.</p>

<li><h3>Legal Effect of Contribution.</h3>
Upon committing a change or new work to a twistedmatrix.com CVS Module (a
"Contribution"), you agree to assign, and hereby do assign, a one-half
interest of all right, title and interest in and to copyright and other
intellectual property rights with respect to your new and original portions
of the Contribution to the Primary Copyright Holder for that Module. You and
the Copyright Holder each agree that the other shall be free to exercise any
and all exclusive rights in and to the Contribution, without accounting to
one another, including without limitation, the right to license the
Contribution to others under the License specified by that Module. This
agreement shall run with title to the Contribution. The Copyright Holder
does not convey to you any right, title or interest in or to the Module or
such portions of the Contribution that were taken from the Module. Your
transmission of authentication credentials, including but not limited to a
password or SSH key, to the twistedmatrix.com server constitutes
your authentication of intent to contribute and your assignment of the work
in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

authority to enter into this Agreement and legal authority over Contributed
Code. All parties with potential claim over Committer's copyright in the
context of contributions to twistedmatrix.com CVS, including but not limited
to their employer, must be notified and co-sign this agreement to warrant
that Committer has such legal authority. Further, Committer indemnifies all
other users of twistedmatrix.com against violations.
