+\noindent
+{\bf Between:}
+
+GNUnet e.V., a German association of GNUnet developers
+registered in M\"unchen and seated in Garching bei M\"unchen,
+represented by
+
+\vspace{2cm}
+
+an authorized currently elected representative of the
+GNUnet e.V. Vorstand, hereinafter referred to as {\bf ``GNUnet e.V.''},
+
+\noindent
+{\bf And:}
+% Note: pseudonymous contributions are still OK!
+% Then we just put the pseudonym.
+
+\vspace{4cm}
+hereinafter referred to as {\bf ``the Contributor''}.
+
+\vspace{0.5cm}
+
+\noindent
+{\bf IT HAVING BEEN PREVIOUSLY ESTABLISHED:}
+\begin{itemize}
+\item That the GNUnet project is directed and supported by GNUnet e.V.,
+ which aims to develop the GNUnet software as part of the GNU project,
+ distributed under license GNU GPL v3+ on the date of signing of this
+ contract;
+\item That this development project is opened to contributions
+ submitted by individuals outside of GNUnet e.V., contributions which
+ may be officially submitted by their holder to GNUnet e.V. for the
+ purpose of being integrated by the latter into the GNUnet software,
+ in successive versions edited and distributed by GNUnet e.V. or the
+ GNU project;
+\item That GNUnet e.V. wishes, in this context, to centralize copyright
+ ownership on any new contribution integrated into the GNUnet software
+ edited and distributed by it;
+\item That the Contributor wishes to participate, or authorize its
+ personnel to participate, in the development of the aforementioned
+ software.
+\end{itemize}
+
+\noindent
+{\bf IT HAS BEEN AGREED AS FOLLOWS:}
+
+\section{Definition}
+
+\begin{itemize}
+ \item {\bf ``Software'':} means the GNUnet software available at
+ {\tt https://gnunet.org/svn/} and on GNU's FTP mirrors, in its
+ present version and future versions, distributed under the GNU GPL
+ v3 license at the date of the signing of this contract, or any
+ other license chosen by GNUnet e.V.
+\end{itemize}
+
+However, ``Software'' does not mean the versions derived from the
+Software, developed and distributed by the Contributor, independently
+of the successive versions edited and distributed by GNUnet e.V., in
+accordance with the rights granted to the Contributor by the GNU GPL
+v3+ license.
+
+\begin{itemize}
+ \item {\bf ``Contribution'':} means any original contribution
+ protected by copyright, in particular modifications or the
+ development of new software components and new functionalities by
+ the Contributor (be the Contributor an individual or an
+ organization employing individuals), and that the latter
+ intentionally submits to GNUnet e.V. to be integrated into the
+ Software, with GNUnet e.V.'s approval. A Contribution includes its
+ source code, its object code, as well as any specifications and
+ documentation related thereto.
+\end{itemize}
+
+\section{Subject}
+
+This contract defines the conditions under which the Contributor
+assigns, free of charge, the copyrights over its Contributions as they
+are in progress, to GNUnet e.V.. Any participation by the Contributor
+or employees of the Contributor will be made under the conditions of
+this contract.
+
+Should the Contributor wish to terminate further participation under
+the terms of this contract, it will inform GNUnet e.V. of this in
+advance and by registered mail to:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+GNUnet e.V. -- I8
+Fakultät für Informatik
+Technische Universität München
+Boltzmannstraße 3
+85748 Garching
+GERMANY
+\end{verbatim}
+
+It is specified that this copyright assignment is a necessary
+condition to enable GNUnet e.V. to integrate the Contributions of the
+Contributor’s personnel in the Software.
+
+\section{EFFECT AND DURATION}
+
+The contract takes effect on the latest date of signing.
+
+The contract shall be enforced for a duration of five years, renewable
+by written agreement, as far as the Contributor’s participation in the
+development of the Software is concerned.
+
+However, the Contributor’s copyright on the Contributions is assigned
+to GNUnet e.V. for as long as said copyrights last.
+
+\section{COPYRIGHTS ASSIGNED TO GNUnet e.V.}
+
+\begin{enumpar}
+ \item is stipulated that copyrights over the Contributions, as
+ assigned by the Contributor to GNUnet e.V., are the following:
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item The right to reproduce, permanently or temporarily, all or
+ part of the Contributions, in any format, on any medium and by
+ any technical means, present or future, necessary for their use.
+ \item The right to represent all or part of the Contributions, in
+ any place, public or not, through any form of communication,
+ present or future, by the means referred to above.
+ \item The right to adapt for purposes of freely carrying out, on
+ any medium and by any technical means, any adaptation and/or
+ modification of all or part of the Contributions, including with
+ a view to developing derivative software and integrating the
+ Contributions into a future version of the Software. It is
+ stipulated that the right of adaptation includes the corrective
+ and developmental maintenance of the software into which a
+ Contribution might be integrated. Therefore, the Contributor
+ promises to deliver to GNUnet e.V. the source code of the
+ Contributions transferred, as well as any documentation
+ pertaining thereto.
+ \item The right to distribute the Contributions referred to above,
+ internally or publicly, remunerated or free of charge, directly
+ or through a provider and/or licensee and/or assignee.
+ \item The right of using, for operating and making use of, whether
+ personally or on behalf of a third party, remunerated or free of
+ charge, the Contributions herein assigned, for the purposes of
+ carrying out any form of processing, to whatever end.
+ \item It is agreed that all of the rights considered above are
+ assigned for the duration of copyright, for the whole world.
+ \end{itemize}
+ It is specified that any author-employee of the Contributor remains
+ the holder of his or her moral right over said Contributions.
+ \item In the event that the Contributor wishes to cease submitting
+ further Contributions, it promises to inform GNUnet e.V. of this
+ in advance by registered mail with return receipt. It further
+ promises to ensure that all participation by its employees in the
+ development of the Software ceases.
+ \item The Contributor and its employees nevertheless remain free to
+ use the Software under the conditions provided for by the GNU GPL
+ v3 license or any other license which may subsequently become
+ attached to it.
+ \item The assignment is non-exclusive. In particular, the
+ Contributor remains free to make the same Contributions to other
+ projects and under other licenses. However, this exception only
+ applies to the Contribution, and in particular does not relieve
+ the Contributor from the obligations of the GNU GPLv3+ or other
+ licenses of the Software, in cases where these licenses may
+ otherwise apply to the Contribution.
+ \item GNUnet e.V. remains free to terminate the submission of
+ Contributions by the Contributor at any time.
+\end{enumpar}
+
+\section{GUARANTEES}
+
+\begin{enumpar}
+ \item The Contributor guarantees that it possesses copyrights over
+ the Contributions (non-exclusively) transferred and that it holds
+ all of the rights necessary to assign said Contributions to GNUnet
+ e.V.. The Contributor guarantees, in particular, that the
+ Contributions assigned to GNUnet e.V. do not infringe third
+ parties' intellectual property rights, including those protected by
+ patent law. Should the Contributor become aware, after the
+ assignment of a Contribution to GNUnet e.V., of details calling
+ into question this article and the validity of the assignment
+ covered by this contract, the Contributor promises to inform GNUnet
+ e.V. of this promptly, in order that the latter may withdraw the
+ Contribution or Contributions at issue from the Software, as
+ necessary.
+ \item The Contributor acknowledges that it holds no patent which
+ could be enforced against any use by GNUnet e.V. of the copyright over
+ the Contributions which are assigned to it. In the opposite case,
+ the Contributor promises to raise no objection to GNUnet e.V., or any of
+ its licensees, sub- licensees or assignees, on the grounds of the
+ use of its patent in the Contributions assigned.
+ \item The Contributor is bound by no obligation to maintain its
+ Contributions, except as voluntarily undertaken on its
+ part. Moreover, the Contributor declares that it is assigning its
+ Contributions ``as they are'', without guarantee as to their
+ commercial value, and without guaranteeing GNUnet e.V. that the
+ Contributions are free of errors or correspond to its needs.
+ \item GNUnet e.V. guarantees that it will continue to distribute
+ all future versions of the Software under a free software license,
+ as defined by the Free Software Foundation (\url{http://www.fsf.org/}).
+\end{enumpar}
+
+\section{MISCELLANEOUS}
+
+\begin{enumpar}
+ \item This contract is subject to German law.
+ \item Any dispute concerning the interpretation, validity or
+ execution of this contract will be submitted, failing an
+ out-of-court resolution, to the competent German court.
+ \item If one or several stipulations of this contract are held to be
+ invalid or declared such in application of a law or regulation, or
+ by reason of a final ruling by a competent court, the others will
+ retain all of their force and scope.
