Contributions to XMK

There are no legal requirements placed on users of the XMK to feed back any changes. With that said, feedback on the XMK is not only accepted, but solicited. However, we ask that you assign the copyrights to Shift-Right Technologies when you contribute any significant changes to the XMK package. The rationale behind this assignment is to avoid any possible confusion over the legal ownership of XMK, and to indemnify Shift-Right Technologies and all XMK users against copyright or patent claims on contributed code used within XMK.

NOTE: If you are employed as a programmer (even at a university), or have made an agreement with your employer or school that gives them ownership of the software you write, then Shift-Right Technologies needs a signed letter from your employer disclaiming rights to the contributed software (click here for an example form).

The process for assigning copyright is simple, print out the Contributor Assignment of Copyright form, sign it, and either fax or mail it to us.

The signed copy of the copyright assignment can be mail to:

Shift-Right Technologies, LLC.
