         Individual Contributor License Agreement ("Agreement") 

This agreement is an adaptation  of the Apache Software Foundation ICL
agreement where  references to  ASF have been  replaced by  QOS.ch. We
thank the ASF for allowing QOS.ch to make use of their ICL agreement.

Thank  you  for your  interest  in QOS.ch.  In  order  to clarify  the
intellectual  property  license granted  with  Contributions from  any
person  or entity, QOS.ch  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 QOS.ch and
its  users;  it   does  not  change  your  rights   to  use  your  own
Contributions for any other purpose.  If you have not already done so,
please complete and  send an original signed Agreement  to QOS.ch, rue
Enning  4,  1003  Lausanne,  Switzerland. Please  read  this  document
carefully before signing and keep a copy for your records.

You accept  and agree to the  following terms and  conditions for Your
present and  future Contributions submitted QOS.ch.  In return, QOS.ch
shall not  use Your  Contributions in  a way that  is contrary  to the
public benefit.  Except for the  license granted herein to  QOS.ch and
recipients of  software distributed by QOS.ch, 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 QOS.ch.  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 QOS.ch for inclusion  in, or
   documentation of,  any of the  products owned or managed  by QOS.ch
   (the  "Work"). For  the  purposes of  this definition,  "submitted"
   means any form of electronic, verbal, or written communication sent
   to  QOS.ch 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, QOS.ch  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 QOS.ch  and to  recipients of
   software   distributed   by    QOS.ch   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 QOS.ch  and to  recipients of
   software   distributed   by    QOS.ch   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 QOS.ch.

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 QOS.ch  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 QOS.ch of any facts  or circumstances of which
   you become  aware that would make  these representations inaccurate
   in any respect.
