License
|
|
|
|
THE WORK (AS DEFINED BELOW) IS PROVIDED UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS CREATIVE
|
|
COMMONS PUBLIC LICENSE ("CCPL" OR "LICENSE"). THE WORK IS PROTECTED BY
|
|
COPYRIGHT AND/OR OTHER APPLICABLE LAW. ANY USE OF THE WORK OTHER THAN AS
|
|
AUTHORIZED UNDER THIS LICENSE OR COPYRIGHT LAW IS PROHIBITED.
|
|
|
|
BY EXERCISING ANY RIGHTS TO THE WORK PROVIDED HERE, YOU ACCEPT AND AGREE TO BE
|
|

|
|
|
|
1. Definitions
|
|
|
|
a. "Adaptation" means a work based upon the Work, or upon the Work and other
|
|
pre-existing works, such as a translation, adaptation, derivative work,
|
|

|
|
or phonogram or performance and includes cinematographic adaptations or any
|
|
other form in which the Work may be recast, transformed, or adapted
|
|
including in any form recognizably derived from the original, except that a
|
|
work that constitutes a Collection will not be considered an Adaptation for
|
|
the purpose of this License. For the avoidance of doubt, where the Work is
|
|
a musical work, performance or phonogram, the synchronization of the Work
|
|
in timed-relation with a moving image ("synching") will be considered an
|
|
Adaptation for the purpose of this License.
|
|
b. "Collection" means a collection of literary or artistic works, such as
|
|
encyclopedias and anthologies, or performances, phonograms or broadcasts,
|
|
or other works or subject matter other than works listed in Section 1(f)
|
|
below, which, by reason of the selection and arrangement of their contents,
|
|
constitute intellectual creations, in which the Work is included in its
|
|
entirety in unmodified form along with one or more other contributions,
|
|
each constituting separate and independent works in themselves, which
|
|
together are assembled into a collective whole. A work that constitutes a
|
|
Collection will not be considered an Adaptation (as defined above) for the
|
|
purposes of this License.

|
|
of the Work through sale or other transfer of ownership.

|
|
e. "Original Author" means, in the case of a literary or artistic work, the

|
|

|
|
(ii) in the case of a phonogram the producer being the person or legal
|
|

|
|
writing; a lecture, address, sermon or other work of the same nature; a
|
|
dramatic or dramatico-musical work; a choreographic work or entertainment
|
|
in dumb show; a musical composition with or without words; a
|
|
cinematographic work to which are assimilated works expressed by a process
|
|
analogous to cinematography; a work of drawing, painting, architecture,
|
|
sculpture, engraving or lithography; a photographic work to which are
|
|
assimilated works expressed by a process analogous to photography; a work
|

|
|
performance; a broadcast; a phonogram; a compilation of data to the extent
|
|
it is protected as a copyrightable work; or a work performed by a variety
|
|
or circus performer to the extent it is not otherwise considered a literary
|
|
or artistic work.
|
|
g. "You" means an individual or entity exercising rights under this License
|
|
who has not previously violated the terms of this License with respect to
|
|
the Work, or who has received express permission from the Licensor to
|
|
exercise rights under this License despite a previous violation.
|
|
h. "Publicly Perform" means to perform public recitations of the Work and to
|
|
communicate to the public those public recitations, by any means or
|

|
|
members of the public may access these Works from a place and at a place

|
|
|
|
2. Fair Dealing Rights. Nothing in this License is intended to reduce, limit,
|
|
or restrict any uses free from copyright or rights arising from limitations or
|
|
exceptions that are provided for in connection with the copyright protection
|
|
under copyright law or other applicable laws.
|
|
|
|
3. License Grant. Subject to the terms and conditions of this License, Licensor
|
|
hereby grants You a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive, perpetual (for the
|
|
duration of the applicable copyright) license to exercise the rights in the
|
|
Work as stated below:
|
|
|
|
a. to Reproduce the Work, to incorporate the Work into one or more
|
|
Collections, and to Reproduce the Work as incorporated in the Collections;
|
|
and,
|
|
b. to Distribute and Publicly Perform the Work including as incorporated in
|
|
Collections.
|
|
c. For the avoidance of doubt:
|
|
|
|
i. Non-waivable Compulsory License Schemes. In those jurisdictions in
|
|
which the right to collect royalties through any statutory or
|
|
compulsory licensing scheme cannot be waived, the Licensor reserves the
|
|
exclusive right to collect such royalties for any exercise by You of
|
|
the rights granted under this License;
|
|
ii. Waivable Compulsory License Schemes. In those jurisdictions in which
|
|
the right to collect royalties through any statutory or compulsory
|
|
licensing scheme can be waived, the Licensor waives the exclusive right
|
|
to collect such royalties for any exercise by You of the rights granted
|
|
under this License; and,
|
|
iii. Voluntary License Schemes. The Licensor waives the right to collect
|
|
royalties, whether individually or, in the event that the Licensor is a
|
|
member of a collecting society that administers voluntary licensing
|
|
schemes, via that society, from any exercise by You of the rights
|
|
granted under this License.
|
|
|
|
The above rights may be exercised in all media and formats whether now known or
|
|
hereafter devised. The above rights include the right to make such
|
|
modifications as are technically necessary to exercise the rights in other
|
|
media and formats, but otherwise you have no rights to make Adaptations.
|
|
Subject to Section 8(f), all rights not expressly granted by Licensor are
|
|
hereby reserved.
|
|
|
|
4. Restrictions. The license granted in Section 3 above is expressly made
|
|
subject to and limited by the following restrictions:
|
|
|
|
a. You may Distribute or Publicly Perform the Work only under the terms of
|
|
this License. You must include a copy of, or the Uniform Resource
|
|
Identifier (URI) for, this License with every copy of the Work You
|
|
Distribute or Publicly Perform. You may not offer or impose any terms on
|
|
the Work that restrict the terms of this License or the ability of the
|
|
recipient of the Work to exercise the rights granted to that recipient
|
|
under the terms of the License. You may not sublicense the Work. You must
|
|
keep intact all notices that refer to this License and to the disclaimer of
|
|
warranties with every copy of the Work You Distribute or Publicly Perform.
|
|
When You Distribute or Publicly Perform the Work, You may not impose any
|
|
effective technological measures on the Work that restrict the ability of a
|
|
recipient of the Work from You to exercise the rights granted to that
|
|
recipient under the terms of the License. This Section 4(a) applies to the
|
|
Work as incorporated in a Collection, but this does not require the
|
|
Collection apart from the Work itself to be made subject to the terms of
|
|
this License. If You create a Collection, upon notice from any Licensor You
|
|
must, to the extent practicable, remove from the Collection any credit as
|
|
required by Section 4(b), as requested.
|
|
b. If You Distribute, or Publicly Perform the Work or Collections, You must,
|
|
unless a request has been made pursuant to Section 4(a), keep intact all
|
|
copyright notices for the Work and provide, reasonable to the medium or
|
|
means You are utilizing: (i) the name of the Original Author (or pseudonym,
|
|
if applicable) if supplied, and/or if the Original Author and/or Licensor
|
|
designate another party or parties (e.g., a sponsor institute, publishing
|
|
entity, journal) for attribution ("Attribution Parties") in Licensor's
|
|
copyright notice, terms of service or by other reasonable means, the name
|
|
of such party or parties; (ii) the title of the Work if supplied; (iii) to
|
|
the extent reasonably practicable, the URI, if any, that Licensor specifies
|
|
to be associated with the Work, unless such URI does not refer to the
|
|
copyright notice or licensing information for the Work. The credit required
|
|
by this Section 4(b) may be implemented in any reasonable manner; provided,
|
|
however, that in the case of a Collection, at a minimum such credit will
|
|
appear, if a credit for all contributing authors of the Collection appears,
|
|
then as part of these credits and in a manner at least as prominent as the
|
|
credits for the other contributing authors. For the avoidance of doubt, You
|
|
may only use the credit required by this Section for the purpose of
|
|
attribution in the manner set out above and, by exercising Your rights
|
|
under this License, You may not implicitly or explicitly assert or imply
|
|
any connection with, sponsorship or endorsement by the Original Author,
|
|
Licensor and/or Attribution Parties, as appropriate, of You or Your use of
|
|
the Work, without the separate, express prior written permission of the
|
|
Original Author, Licensor and/or Attribution Parties.
|
|
c. Except as otherwise agreed in writing by the Licensor or as may be
|
|
otherwise permitted by applicable law, if You Reproduce, Distribute or
|
|
Publicly Perform the Work either by itself or as part of any Collections,
|
|
You must not distort, mutilate, modify or take other derogatory action in
|
|
relation to the Work which would be prejudicial to the Original Author's
|
|
honor or reputation.
|
|
|
|
5. Representations, Warranties and Disclaimer
|
|
|
|
UNLESS OTHERWISE MUTUALLY AGREED TO BY THE PARTIES IN WRITING, LICENSOR OFFERS
|
|
THE WORK AS-IS AND MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND
|
|
CONCERNING THE WORK, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING,
|
|
WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTIES OF TITLE, MERCHANTIBILITY, FITNESS FOR A
|
|
PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NONINFRINGEMENT, OR THE ABSENCE OF LATENT OR OTHER DEFECTS,
|
|
ACCURACY, OR THE PRESENCE OF ABSENCE OF ERRORS, WHETHER OR NOT DISCOVERABLE.
|
|
SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO SUCH
|
|
EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
|
|
|
|
6. Limitation on Liability. EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN
|
|
NO EVENT WILL LICENSOR BE LIABLE TO YOU ON ANY LEGAL THEORY FOR ANY SPECIAL,
|
|
INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THIS
|
|
LICENSE OR THE USE OF THE WORK, EVEN IF LICENSOR HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
|
|
POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
|
|
|
|
7. Termination
|
|
|
|
a. This License and the rights granted hereunder will terminate automatically
|
|
upon any breach by You of the terms of this License. Individuals or
|
|
entities who have received Collections from You under this License,
|
|
however, will not have their licenses terminated provided such individuals
|
|
or entities remain in full compliance with those licenses. Sections 1, 2,
|
|
5, 6, 7, and 8 will survive any termination of this License.
|
|
b. Subject to the above terms and conditions, the license granted here is
|
|
perpetual (for the duration of the applicable copyright in the Work).
|
|
Notwithstanding the above, Licensor reserves the right to release the Work
|
|
under different license terms or to stop distributing the Work at any time;
|
|
provided, however that any such election will not serve to withdraw this
|
|
License (or any other license that has been, or is required to be, granted
|
|
under the terms of this License), and this License will continue in full
|
|
force and effect unless terminated as stated above.
|
|
|
|
8. Miscellaneous
|
|
|
|
a. Each time You Distribute or Publicly Perform the Work or a Collection, the
|
|
Licensor offers to the recipient a license to the Work on the same terms
|
|
and conditions as the license granted to You under this License.
|
|
b. If any provision of this License is invalid or unenforceable under
|
|
applicable law, it shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the
|
|
remainder of the terms of this License, and without further action by the
|
|
parties to this agreement, such provision shall be reformed to the minimum
|
|
extent necessary to make such provision valid and enforceable.
|
|
c. No term or provision of this License shall be deemed waived and no breach
|
|
consented to unless such waiver or consent shall be in writing and signed
|
|
by the party to be charged with such waiver or consent.
|
|
d. This License constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with
|
|
respect to the Work licensed here. There are no understandings, agreements
|
|
or representations with respect to the Work not specified here. Licensor
|
|
shall not be bound by any additional provisions that may appear in any
|
|
communication from You. This License may not be modified without the mutual
|
|
written agreement of the Licensor and You.
|
|
e. The rights granted under, and the subject matter referenced, in this
|
|
License were drafted utilizing the terminology of the Berne Convention for
|
|
the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works (as amended on September 28,
|
|
1979), the Rome Convention of 1961, the WIPO Copyright Treaty of 1996, the
|
|
WIPO Performances and Phonograms Treaty of 1996 and the Universal Copyright
|
|
Convention (as revised on July 24, 1971). These rights and subject matter
|
|
take effect in the relevant jurisdiction in which the License terms are
|
|
sought to be enforced according to the corresponding provisions of the
|
|
implementation of those treaty provisions in the applicable national law.
|
|
If the standard suite of rights granted under applicable copyright law
|
|
includes additional rights not granted under this License, such additional
|
|
rights are deemed to be included in the License; this License is not
|
|
intended to restrict the license of any rights under applicable law.
