|
governing any source code, object code, bug fixes, configuration changes, tools, specifications, documentation, data, |
|
materials, feedback, information or other works of authorship that you submit or have submitted, in any form and in any |
|
manner, to Ultralytics in respect of any of the Projects (collectively “Contributions”). If you have any questions |
|
respecting this Agreement, please contact hello@ultralytics.com. |
|
|
|
You agree that the following terms apply to all of your past, present and future Contributions. Except for the licenses |
|
granted in this Agreement, you retain all of your right, title and interest in and to your Contributions. |
|
|
|
**Copyright License.** You hereby grant, and agree to grant, to Ultralytics a non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, |

|

|
Contributions with the Project to which such Contributions were submitted, with the right to sublicense the |
|
foregoing rights through multiple tiers of sublicensees. |
