+   individual in connection with such Contribution.
+
+2. This Contribution Agreement applies to all Contributions made to
+   Slicer, including without limitation Contributions made prior to
+   the date of first publication of this Agreement. If at any time you
+   make a Contribution to Slicer, you represent that (i) you are
+   legally authorized and entitled to make such Contribution and to
+   grant all licenses granted in this Contribution Agreement with
+   respect to such Contribution; (ii) if your Contribution includes
+   any patient data, all such data is de-identified in accordance with
+   U.S. confidentiality and security laws and requirements, including
+   but not limited to the Health Insurance Portability and
+   Accountability Act (HIPAA) and its regulations, and your disclosure
+   of such data for the purposes contemplated by this Agreement is
+   properly authorized and in compliance with all applicable laws and
+   regulations; and (iii) you have preserved in the Contribution all
+   applicable attributions, copyright notices and licenses for any
+   third party software or data included in the Contribution.

+   have no liability arising in connection with claims resulting from
