Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License
=============================================================
By exercising the Licensed Rights (defined below), You accept and agree to be
bound by the terms and conditions of this Creative Commons Attribution 4.0
International Public License ("Public License"). To the extent this Public
License may be interpreted as a contract, You are granted the Licensed Rights
in consideration of Your acceptance of these terms and conditions, and the
Licensor grants You such rights in consideration of benefits the Licensor
receives from making the Licensed Material available under these terms and
conditions.
Section 1 Definitions.
------------------------
a. **Adapted Material** means material subject to Copyright and Similar Rights
that is derived from or based upon the Licensed Material and in which the
Licensed Material is translated, altered, arranged, transformed, or otherwise
modified in a manner requiring permission under the Copyright and Similar
Rights held by the Licensor. For purposes of this Public License, where the
Licensed Material is a musical work, performance, or sound recording, Adapted
Material is always produced where the Licensed Material is synched in timed
relation with a moving image.
b. **Adapter's License** means the license You apply to Your Copyright and
Similar Rights in Your contributions to Adapted Material in accordance with
the terms and conditions of this Public License.
c. **Copyright and Similar Rights** means copyright and/or similar rights
closely related to copyright including, without limitation, performance,
broadcast, sound recording, and Sui Generis Database Rights, without regard
to how the rights are labeled or categorized. For purposes of this Public
License, the rights specified in Section 2(b)(1)-(2) are not Copyright and
Similar Rights.
d. **Effective Technological Measures** means those measures that, in the
absence of proper authority, may not be circumvented under laws fulfilling
obligations under Article 11 of the WIPO Copyright Treaty adopted on
December 20, 1996, and/or similar international agreements.
e. **Exceptions and Limitations** means fair use, fair dealing, and/or any
other exception or limitation to Copyright and Similar Rights that applies
to Your use of the Licensed Material.
f. **Licensed Material** means the artistic or literary work, database, or
other material to which the Licensor applied this Public License.
g. **Licensed Rights** means the rights granted to You subject to the terms
and conditions of this Public License, which are limited to all Copyright
and Similar Rights that apply to Your use of the Licensed Material and that
the Licensor has authority to license.
h. **Licensor** means the individual(s) or entity(ies) granting rights under
this Public License.
i. **Share** means to provide material to the public by any means or process
that requires permission under the Licensed Rights, such as reproduction,
public display, public performance, distribution, dissemination,
communication, or importation, and to make material available to the public
including in ways that members of the public may access the material from a
place and at a time individually chosen by them.
j. **Sui Generis Database Rights** means rights other than copyright resulting
from Directive 96/9/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11
March 1996 on the legal protection of databases, as amended and/or
succeeded, as well as other essentially equivalent rights anywhere in the
world.
k. **You** means the individual or entity exercising the Licensed Rights under
this Public License. **Your** has a corresponding meaning.
Section 2 Scope.
------------------
a. **License grant.**
1. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Public License, the
Licensor hereby grants You a worldwide, royalty-free,
non-sublicensable, non-exclusive, irrevocable license to exercise the
Licensed Rights in the Licensed Material to:
A. reproduce and Share the Licensed Material, in whole or in part; and
B. produce, reproduce, and Share Adapted Material.
2. _Exceptions and Limitations._ For the avoidance of doubt, where
Exceptions and Limitations apply to Your use, this Public License does
not apply, and You do not need to comply with its terms and conditions.
3. _Term._ The term of this Public License is specified in Section 6(a).
4. _Media and formats; technical modifications allowed._ The Licensor
authorizes You to exercise the Licensed Rights in all media and formats
whether now known or hereafter created, and to make technical
modifications necessary to do so. The Licensor waives and/or agrees not
to assert any right or authority to forbid You from making technical
modifications necessary to exercise the Licensed Rights, including
technical modifications necessary to circumvent Effective Technological
Measures. For purposes of this Public License, simply making
modifications authorized by this Section 2(a)(4) never produces Adapted
Material.
5. _Downstream recipients._
A. _Offer from the Licensor Licensed Material._ Every recipient of
the Licensed Material automatically receives an offer from the
Licensor to exercise the Licensed Rights under the terms and
conditions of this Public License.
B. _No downstream restrictions._ You may not offer or impose any
additional or different terms or conditions on, or apply any
Effective Technological Measures to, the Licensed Material if doing
so restricts exercise of the Licensed Rights by any recipient of
the Licensed Material.
6. _No endorsement._ Nothing in this Public License constitutes or may be
construed as permission to assert or imply that You are, or that Your
use of the Licensed Material is, connected with, or sponsored,
endorsed, or granted official status by, the Licensor or others
designated to receive attribution as provided in Section 3(a)(1)(A)(i).
b. **Other rights.**
1. Moral rights, such as the right of integrity, are not licensed under
this Public License, nor are publicity, privacy, and/or other similar
personality rights; however, to the extent possible, the Licensor
waives and/or agrees not to assert any such rights held by the Licensor
to the limited extent necessary to allow You to exercise the Licensed
Rights, but not otherwise.
2. Patent and trademark rights are not licensed under this Public License.
3. To the extent possible, the Licensor waives any right to collect
royalties from You for the exercise of the Licensed Rights, whether
directly or through a collecting society under any voluntary or
waivable statutory or compulsory licensing scheme. In all other cases
the Licensor expressly reserves any right to collect such royalties.
Section 3 License Conditions.
-------------------------------
Your exercise of the Licensed Rights is expressly made subject to the following
conditions.
a. **Attribution.**
1. If You Share the Licensed Material (including in modified form), You
must:
A. retain the following if it is supplied by the Licensor with the
Licensed Material:
i. identification of the creator(s) of the Licensed Material and
any others designated to receive attribution, in any reasonable
manner requested by the Licensor (including by pseudonym if
designated);
ii. a copyright notice;
iii. a notice that refers to this Public License;
iv. a notice that refers to the disclaimer of warranties;
v. a URI or hyperlink to the Licensed Material to the extent
reasonably practicable;
B. indicate if You modified the Licensed Material and retain an
indication of any previous modifications; and
C. indicate the Licensed Material is licensed under this Public
License, and include the text of, or the URI or hyperlink to, this
Public License.
2. You may satisfy the conditions in Section 3(a)(1) in any reasonable
manner based on the medium, means, and context in which You Share the
Licensed Material. For example, it may be reasonable to satisfy the
conditions by providing a URI or hyperlink to a resource that includes
the required information.
3. If requested by the Licensor, You must remove any of the information
required by Section 3(a)(1)(A) to the extent reasonably practicable.
4. If You Share Adapted Material You produce, the Adapter's License You
apply must not prevent recipients of the Adapted Material from
complying with this Public License.
Section 4 Sui Generis Database Rights.
----------------------------------------
Where the Licensed Rights include Sui Generis Database Rights that apply to
Your use of the Licensed Material:
a. for the avoidance of doubt, Section 2(a)(1) grants You the right to
extract, reuse, reproduce, and Share all or a substantial portion of the
contents of the database;
b. if You include all or a substantial portion of the database contents in a
database in which You have Sui Generis Database Rights, then the database
in which You have Sui Generis Database Rights (but not its individual
contents) is Adapted Material; and
c. You must comply with the conditions in Section 3(a) if You Share all or a
substantial portion of the contents of the database.
For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 4 supplements and does not replace
Your obligations under this Public License where the Licensed Rights include
other Copyright and Similar Rights.
Section 5 Disclaimer of Warranties and Limitation of Liability.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
a. **Unless otherwise separately undertaken by the Licensor, to the extent
possible, the Licensor offers the Licensed Material as-is and as-available,
and makes no representations or warranties of any kind concerning the
Licensed Material, whether express, implied, statutory, or other. This
includes, without limitation, warranties of title, merchantability, fitness
for a particular purpose, non-infringement, absence of latent or other
defects, accuracy, or the presence or absence of errors, whether or not
known or discoverable. Where disclaimers of warranties are not allowed in
full or in part, this disclaimer may not apply to You.**
b. **To the extent possible, in no event will the Licensor be liable to You on
any legal theory (including, without limitation, negligence) or otherwise
for any direct, special, indirect, incidental, consequential, punitive,
exemplary, or other losses, costs, expenses, or damages arising out of this
Public License or use of the Licensed Material, even if the Licensor has
been advised of the possibility of such losses, costs, expenses, or
damages. Where a limitation of liability is not allowed in full or in part,
this limitation may not apply to You.**
The disclaimer of warranties and limitation of liability provided above
shall be interpreted in a manner that, to the extent possible, most closely
approximates an absolute disclaimer and waiver of all liability.
Section 6 Term and Termination.
---------------------------------
a. This Public License applies for the term of the Copyright and Similar
Rights licensed here. However, if You fail to comply with this Public
License, then Your rights under this Public License terminate
automatically.
b. Where Your right to use the Licensed Material has terminated under Section
6(a), it reinstates:
1. automatically as of the date the violation is cured, provided it is
cured within 30 days of Your discovery of the violation; or
2. upon express reinstatement by the Licensor.
c. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 6(b) does not affect any right the
Licensor may have to seek remedies for Your violations of this Public
License.
d. For the avoidance of doubt, the Licensor may also offer the Licensed
Material under separate terms or conditions or stop distributing the
Licensed Material at any time; however, doing so will not terminate this
Public License.
Sections 1, 5, 6, 7, and 8 survive termination of this Public License.
Section 7 Other Terms and Conditions.
---------------------------------------
a. The Licensor shall not be bound by any additional or different terms or
conditions communicated by You unless expressly agreed.
b. Any arrangements, understandings, or agreements regarding the Licensed
Material not stated herein are separate from and independent of the terms
and conditions of this Public License.
Section 8 Interpretation.
---------------------------
a. For the avoidance of doubt, this Public License does not, and shall not be
interpreted to, reduce, limit, restrict, or impose conditions on any use of
the Licensed Material that could lawfully be made without permission under
this Public License.
b. To the extent possible, if any provision of this Public License is deemed
unenforceable, it shall be automatically reformed to the minimum extent
necessary to make it enforceable. If the provision cannot be reformed, it
shall be severed from this Public License without affecting the
enforceability of the remaining terms and conditions.
c. No term or condition of this Public License will be waived and no failure
to comply consented to unless expressly agreed to by the Licensor.
d. Nothing in this Public License constitutes or may be interpreted as a
limitation upon, or waiver of, any privileges and immunities that apply to
the Licensor or You, including from the legal processes of any jurisdiction
or authority.
Creative Commons is not a party to its public licenses. Notwithstanding,
Creative Commons may elect to apply one of its public licenses to material it
publishes and in those instances will be considered the “Licensor.” Except for
the limited purpose of indicating that material is shared under a Creative
Commons public license or as otherwise permitted by the Creative Commons
policies published at creativecommons.org/policies, Creative Commons does not
authorize the use of the trademark “Creative Commons” or any other trademark or
logo of Creative Commons without its prior written consent including, without
limitation, in connection with any unauthorized modifications to any of its
public licenses or any other arrangements, understandings, or agreements
concerning use of licensed material. For the avoidance of doubt, this paragraph
does not form part of the public licenses.
