CREATIVE COMMONS CORPORATION IS NOT A LAW FIRM AND DOES NOT PROVIDE LEGAL
|
||||
SERVICES. DISTRIBUTION OF THIS DOCUMENT DOES NOT CREATE AN ATTORNEY-CLIENT
|
||||
RELATIONSHIP. CREATIVE COMMONS PROVIDES THIS INFORMATION ON AN "AS-IS"
|
||||
BASIS. CREATIVE COMMONS MAKES NO WARRANTIES REGARDING THE USE OF THIS
|
||||
DOCUMENT OR THE INFORMATION OR WORKS PROVIDED HEREUNDER, AND DISCLAIMS
|
||||
LIABILITY FOR DAMAGES RESULTING FROM THE USE OF THIS DOCUMENT OR THE
|
||||
INFORMATION OR WORKS PROVIDED HEREUNDER.
|
||||
|
||||
Statement of Purpose
|
||||
|
||||
The laws of most jurisdictions throughout the world automatically confer
|
||||
exclusive Copyright and Related Rights (defined below) upon the creator and
|
||||
subsequent owner(s) (each and all, an "owner") of an original work of
|
||||
authorship and/or a database (each, a "Work").
|
||||
|
||||
Certain owners wish to permanently relinquish those rights to a Work for the
|
||||
purpose of contributing to a commons of creative, cultural and scientific works
|
||||
("Commons") that the public can reliably and without fear of later claims of
|
||||
infringement build upon, modify, incorporate in other works, reuse and
|
||||
redistribute as freely as possible in any form whatsoever and for any purposes,
|
||||
including without limitation commercial purposes. These owners may contribute
|
||||
to the Commons to promote the ideal of a free culture and the further
|
||||
production of creative, cultural and scientific works, or to gain reputation or
|
||||
greater distribution for their Work in part through the use and efforts of
|
||||
others.
|
||||
|
||||
For these and/or other purposes and motivations, and without any expectation of
|
||||
additional consideration or compensation, the person associating CC0 with a
|
||||
Work (the "Affirmer"), to the extent that he or she is an owner of Copyright
|
||||
and Related Rights in the Work, voluntarily elects to apply CC0 to the Work and
|
||||
publicly distribute the Work under its terms, with knowledge of his or her
|
||||
Copyright and Related Rights in the Work and the meaning and intended legal
|
||||
effect of CC0 on those rights.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Copyright and Related Rights. A Work made available under CC0 may be
|
||||
protected by copyright and related or neighboring rights ("Copyright and
|
||||
Related Rights"). Copyright and Related Rights include, but are not limited to,
|
||||
the following:
|
||||
|
||||
the right to reproduce, adapt, distribute, perform, display, communicate,
|
||||
and translate a Work; moral rights retained by the original author(s)
|
||||
and/or performer(s); publicity and privacy rights pertaining to a person's
|
||||
image or likeness depicted in a Work; rights protecting against unfair
|
||||
competition in regards to a Work, subject to the limitations in paragraph
|
||||
4(a), below; rights protecting the extraction, dissemination, use and reuse
|
||||
of data in a Work; database rights (such as those arising under Directive
|
||||
96/9/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 March 1996 on
|
||||
the legal protection of databases, and under any national implementation
|
||||
thereof, including any amended or successor version of such directive); and
|
||||
other similar, equivalent or corresponding rights throughout the world
|
||||
based on applicable law or treaty, and any national implementations
|
||||
thereof.
|
||||
|
||||
2. Waiver. To the greatest extent permitted by, but not in contravention of,
|
||||
applicable law, Affirmer hereby overtly, fully, permanently, irrevocably and
|
||||
unconditionally waives, abandons, and surrenders all of Affirmer's Copyright
|
||||
and Related Rights and associated claims and causes of action, whether now
|
||||
known or unknown (including existing as well as future claims and causes of
|
||||
action), in the Work (i) in all territories worldwide, (ii) for the maximum
|
||||
duration provided by applicable law or treaty (including future time
|
||||
extensions), (iii) in any current or future medium and for any number of
|
||||
copies, and (iv) for any purpose whatsoever, including without limitation
|
||||
commercial, advertising or promotional purposes (the "Waiver"). Affirmer makes
|
||||
the Waiver for the benefit of each member of the public at large and to the
|
||||
detriment of Affirmer's heirs and successors, fully intending that such Waiver
|
||||
shall not be subject to revocation, rescission, cancellation, termination, or
|
||||
any other legal or equitable action to disrupt the quiet enjoyment of the Work
|
||||
by the public as contemplated by Affirmer's express Statement of Purpose.
|
||||
|
||||
3. Public License Fallback. Should any part of the Waiver for any reason be
|
||||
judged legally invalid or ineffective under applicable law, then the Waiver
|
||||
shall be preserved to the maximum extent permitted taking into account
|
||||
Affirmer's express Statement of Purpose. In addition, to the extent the Waiver
|
||||
is so judged Affirmer hereby grants to each affected person a royalty-free, non
|
||||
transferable, non sublicensable, non exclusive, irrevocable and unconditional
|
||||
license to exercise Affirmer's Copyright and Related Rights in the Work (i) in
|
||||
all territories worldwide, (ii) for the maximum duration provided by applicable
|
||||
law or treaty (including future time extensions), (iii) in any current or
|
||||
future medium and for any number of copies, and (iv) for any purpose
|
||||
whatsoever, including without limitation commercial, advertising or promotional
|
||||
purposes (the "License"). The License shall be deemed effective as of the date
|
||||
CC0 was applied by Affirmer to the Work. Should any part of the License for any
|
||||
reason be judged legally invalid or ineffective under applicable law, such
|
||||
partial invalidity or ineffectiveness shall not invalidate the remainder of the
|
||||
License, and in such case Affirmer hereby affirms that he or she will not (i)
|
||||
exercise any of his or her remaining Copyright and Related Rights in the Work
|
||||
or (ii) assert any associated claims and causes of action with respect to the
|
||||
Work, in either case contrary to Affirmer's express Statement of Purpose.
|
||||
|
||||
4. Limitations and Disclaimers.
|
||||
|
||||
No trademark or patent rights held by Affirmer are waived, abandoned,
|
||||
surrendered, licensed or otherwise affected by this document. Affirmer
|
||||
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, merchantability, fitness
|
||||
for a particular purpose, non infringement, or the absence of latent or
|
||||
other defects, accuracy, or the present or absence of errors, whether or
|
||||
not discoverable, all to the greatest extent permissible under applicable
|
||||
law. Affirmer disclaims responsibility for clearing rights of other
|
||||
persons that may apply to the Work or any use thereof, including without
|
||||
limitation any person's Copyright and Related Rights in the Work. Further,
|
||||
Affirmer disclaims responsibility for obtaining any necessary consents,
|
||||
permissions or other rights required for any use of the Work. Affirmer
|
||||
understands and acknowledges that Creative Commons is not a party to this
|
||||
document and has no duty or obligation with respect to this CC0 or use of
|
||||
the Work.
