Here's a draft of an IPR notice for Cyrus SASL as we discussed in the last
meeting and I assume it could be used similarly with Cyrus IMAPD:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Files containing patches representing significant blocks of new code (10
lines or greater) must include a notice of origin:
The attached patch file is derived from Cyrus SASL Software. All of the
modifications to Cyrus SASL Software represented in the following patch(es)
were developed by <YOUR NAME> <YOUR-EMAIL-ADDRESS>. I have not assigned
rights and/or interest in this work to any party.
This notice must be followed by an appropriate rights statement.
If the patch is derived from other works, you must include a detailed
description of these others works. The description should include specific
references to the location where these works can be obtained, such as URL
to their location on the Internet.
If you have assigned rights and/or interest in this work to another party,
such as your employer (possibly through your employment agreement), you
must state which rights you have assigned and to whom. For instance, "By
virtue of my employment agreement with EMPLOYER-NAME, I have assigned my
rights and interest in this work to EMPLOYER-NAME."
Below is an example notice for someone making a contribution on behalf of
your employer:
The attached file is derived from Cyrus SASL Software. All of the
modifications to Cyrus SASL Software represented in the following patch(es)
were developed by <YOUR-EMPLOYER>. <YOUR-EMPLOYER> has not assigned rights
and/or interest in this work to any party. I, <YOUR-NAME> am authorized by
<YOUR-EMPLOYER>, my employer, to release this work under the following
terms.
This notice must be followed by an appropriate rights statement.
For small modifications (bug fixes, minor enhancements, etc.), we suggest
the modifications be placed into the public domain so that they can be
freely incorporated into Cyrus SASL Software (as well as other works).
I, <YOUR NAME>, hereby place the following modifications to Cyrus SASL
Software (and only these modifications) into the public domain. Hence,
these modifications may be freely used and/or redistributed for any purpose
with or without attribution and/or other notice.
A corporate example:
<YOUR-EMPLOYER> hereby place the following modifications to Cyrus SASL
Software (and only these modifications) into the public domain. Hence,
these modifications may be freely used and/or redistributed for any purpose
with or without attribution and/or other notice.
While you may use the above for large modifications as well, you may desire
to maintain rights in your modifications. However, to ensure license
compatibility, we require all contributions (your modifications) to be
provided under compatible terms. Hence, we suggest the following statement
be used:
The attached modifications to Cyrus SASL Software are subject to the
following notice:
Copyright <YEAR> <YOUR NAME>
Redistribution and use in source and binary forms, with or without
modification, are permitted only as authorized by the Cyrus SASL Software
license.
By making this statement, you are allowing redistribution and use of your
modifications under the same terms as Cyrus SASL Software itself.
Alternative rights statements will not generally be accepted.
