## 2. Grant of Exclusive License
You hereby irrevocably assign, transfer, and convey to the Maintainer your
entire right, title, and interest worldwide in and to your Contributions,
including all copyrights and all rights under copyright (and all renewals,
revivals, and extensions thereof), free and clear. The Maintainer becomes the
sole owner of the Contributions and may use, reproduce, modify, distribute,
sublicense, relicense (under any terms, including open-source, source-available,
proprietary, or commercial licenses), sell, and otherwise exploit them without
restriction and without any obligation to You.
You retain ownership of and all copyright in your Contributions. You hereby grant
the Maintainer a perpetual, worldwide, **exclusive**, royalty-free, irrevocable,
fully sublicensable, and transferable license to use, reproduce, modify, prepare
derivative works of, publicly display, publicly perform, distribute, relicense
(under any terms, including open-source and commercial licenses), sell, and
otherwise exploit your Contributions, by all means and in all media now known or
later developed — so that the Maintainer may offer the Project under both the
GNU AGPL-3.0 and one or more commercial licenses.

and transferable license to use, reproduce, modify, prepare derivative works of,
publicly display, publicly perform, distribute, relicense, sell, and otherwise
exploit your Contributions, by all means and in all media now known or later
developed — so that the Maintainer obtains, as nearly as possible, the same
rights as full ownership.
To the extent that the exclusive license in Section 2 is, in any jurisdiction,
narrower than stated or otherwise limited by law, You grant the Maintainer the
broadest license permissible there, and — only to the extent necessary to give
the Maintainer equivalent rights — assign such rights to the Maintainer, so that
the Maintainer obtains, as nearly as possible, the same rights as the exclusive
license in Section 2.
