+
+\section{Grant}
+\A In the event that the author or owner of the contributed code has
+already signed an exclusive license to another entity or person, each use
+of the term ``License'' shall mean ``non-exclusive license'' everywhere
+within this agreement, otherwise the term ``License'' shall mean
+``exclusive license''.
+
+\A Subject to the provision of {\S}~2, Contributor assigns to Kern the
+Copyright in computer programs and other copyrightable material
+world-wide, or in countries where such an assignment is not
+possible,\footnote{Countries where assignments of the copyright in a
+work are impossible include, but are not limited to, Germany, Austria,
+Slovenia and Hungary.} grants a License, including, inter
+alia:
+
+\begin{enumerate}
+\item the right to reproduce in original or modified form;
+\item the right to redistribute in original or modified form;
+\item the right of making available in data networks, in particular
+ via the Internet, as well as by providing downloads, in original or
+ modified form;
+\item the right to authorize third parties to make derivative works of
+ the Software, or to work on and commit changes or perform this
+ conduct themselves;
+\item the right to use, reproduce, redistribute and
+ make derivative works of the Sortware under other licenses.
+\end{enumerate}
+\A Contributor's moral or personal rights remain unaffected by this
+Agreement.\\
+\A In some countries, the law may provide that the employer is deemed
+to be the owner of the rights on materials developed by an employee in
+the course of his or her employment, unless the parties have agreed
+otherwise. Contributor is aware of these provisions, and therefore
+warrants, represents and guarantees that the Subject Matter is free of
+any of his or her employer's License exploitation rights.
+
+\section{Subject Matter}
+
+The rights and licenses granted in {\S}~1 are subject to all
+``Software'' and ``Documentation''.
+For the purpose of this Agreement,
+``Software'' shall mean all computer programs, copyrightable sections
+of computer programs or modifications of computer programs that have
+been developed or programmed by Contributor that are specified in
+this Agreement below or that are listed in Exhibit A attached to this
+Agreement and dated and signed by the contracting parties. Likewise,
+``Documentation'' shall refer to all manuals and documentation written
+by Contributor alongside and usually distributed with the ``Software''
+that are similarly specified below or listed in Exhibit A:
+\begin{alltt}
+
+All code and documentation contributed by Contributor to
+the bacula.org project.
+
+\end{alltt}
+Except in countries where such an assignment is not
+possible,\footnote{Countries where assignments of the copyright in a
+future work are impossible include, but are not limited to, France.}
+the rights [and licenses] granted under this agreement by Contributor
+shall also include future developments, future corrections of errors
+or faults and other future modifications and derivative works of the
+software that Contributor obtains copyright ownership. Excluded from
+this provision are modifications that are not derived from the subject
+matter and that have to be regarded as independent and original
+software.
+
+\section{Kern's Rights and \\Re-Transfer of Non-Exclusive license}
+\A Kern shall exercise the granted rights and Licenses in his
+own name. Furthermore, Kern shall be authorized to enjoin third
+parties from using the software and forbid any unlawful or copyright
+infringing use of the Software, and shall be entitled to enforce all
+its rights in its own name in and out of court. Kern shall also
+be authorized to permit third parties to exercise Kern's rights
+in and out of court.\\
+
+\A Kern grants to Contributor a non-exclusive, worldwide, perpetual and
+unrestricted license in the contributions Contributor has made to the
+Bacula project. This right's [and license's] scope shall encompass and
+include all the rights [and licenses] specified in {\S}~1. Furthermore,
+Kern grants to Contributor additional non-exclusive, transferable license
+to use, reproduce, redistribute and make available his or her contributions
+to the Bacula project as needed for releases of the code he or she
+contributed under other licenses. This re-transfer shall not limit the
+scope of Kern's License in the Software and Kern's rights pursuant to
+{\S}~1.\\
+
+\A The transfer of the rights and licenses specified in {\S}~1 shall
+be unrestricted in territory and thus shall apply world-wide and be
+temporally unlimited.
+
+\section{Miscellaneous}
+\A Regarding the succession of rights in this contractual relationship,
+Swiss law shall apply, unless this Agreement imposes deviating regulations.
+In case of the Kern's death, the assignment of exclusive or non-exclusive
+rights to Kern shall continue with his heirs. In case of more than one
+heir, all heirs must exercise their rights through a common authorized
+person. In case of Contributor's death, the re-assignment of
+non-exclusive rights to Contributor shall continue with the
+Contributor's heirs. In case of more than one heir, all heirs must
+exercise their rights through a common authorized person. \\
+
+\A This agreement take effect immediately upon signature by the
+Contributor. \\
+
+\A If any part of this agreement is found to be invalid the other
+parts shall remain in efect. \\
+
+\A The Place of jurisdiction for all legal conflicts arising out of or in
+connection with this Agreement is Lausanne, Switzerland.\\
