Here is the full suggested contributor agreement from the paho project (I think most of these points are covered and having this customised to the project is good). It would be good to copy the full section re the contributor agreement (as I think it's important to explain why this is required) and I guess the terms of use section should be there (legal team probably would like that!).

Contributing to Eclipse Paho

Thanks for your interest in this project.

Project description

The Eclipse Paho project provides reliable open-source implementations of open
and standard messaging protocols aimed at new, existing, and emerging
applications for Machine-to-Machine (M2M) and Internet of Things (IoT). Paho
reflects the inherent physical and cost constraints of device connectivity. Its
objectives include effective levels of decoupling between devices and
applications, designed to keep markets open and encourage the rapid growth of
scalable Web and Enterprise middleware and applications. Paho contains MQTT
publish/subscribe client implementations for use on embedded platforms, along
with corresponding server support as determined by the community.
