Creative Commons Corporation ("Creative Commons") is not a law firm and
6+
does not provide legal services or legal advice. Distribution of
7+
Creative Commons public licenses does not create a lawyer-client or
8+
other relationship. Creative Commons makes its licenses and related
9+
information available on an "as-is" basis. Creative Commons gives no
10+
warranties regarding its licenses, any material licensed under their
11+
terms and conditions, or any related information. Creative Commons
12+
disclaims all liability for damages resulting from their use to the
13+
fullest extent possible.

15+
Using Creative Commons Public Licenses
16+
17+
Creative Commons public licenses provide a standard set of terms and
18+
conditions that creators and other rights holders may use to share
19+
original works of authorship and other material subject to copyright
20+
and certain other rights specified in the public license below. The
21+
following considerations are for informational purposes only, are not
22+
exhaustive, and do not form part of our licenses.
23+
24+
Considerations for licensors: Our public licenses are
25+
intended for use by those authorized to give the public
26+
permission to use material in ways otherwise restricted by
27+
copyright and certain other rights. Our licenses are
28+
irrevocable. Licensors should read and understand the terms
29+
and conditions of the license they choose before applying it.
30+
Licensors should also secure all rights necessary before
31+
applying our licenses so that the public can reuse the
32+
material as expected. Licensors should clearly mark any
33+
material not subject to the license. This includes other CC-
34+
licensed material, or material used under an exception or
35+
limitation to copyright. More considerations for licensors:

wiki.creativecommons.org/Considerations_for_licensors
37+
38+
Considerations for the public: By using one of our public
39+
licenses, a licensor grants the public permission to use the
40+
licensed material under specified terms and conditions. If
41+
the licensor's permission is not necessary for any reason--for
42+
example, because of any applicable exception or limitation to
43+
copyright--then that use is not regulated by the license. Our
44+
licenses grant only permissions under copyright and certain
45+
other rights that a licensor has authority to grant. Use of
46+
the licensed material may still be restricted for other
47+
reasons, including because others have copyright or other
48+
rights in the material. A licensor may make special requests,
49+
such as asking that all changes be marked or described.
50+
Although not required by our licenses, you are encouraged to
51+
respect those requests where reasonable. More_considerations

59+
By exercising the Licensed Rights (defined below), You accept and agree
60+
to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Creative Commons
61+
Attribution 4.0 International Public License ("Public License"). To the
62+
extent this Public License may be interpreted as a contract, You are
63+
granted the Licensed Rights in consideration of Your acceptance of
64+
these terms and conditions, and the Licensor grants You such rights in
65+
consideration of benefits the Licensor receives from making the
66+
Licensed Material available under these terms and conditions.
67+

and in which the Licensed Material is translated, altered,
73+
arranged, transformed, or otherwise modified in a manner requiring
74+
permission under the Copyright and Similar Rights held by the
75+
Licensor. For purposes of this Public License, where the Licensed
76+
Material is a musical work, performance, or sound recording,
77+
Adapted Material is always produced where the Licensed Material is
78+
synched in timed relation with a moving image.
79+
80+
b. Adapter's License means the license You apply to Your Copyright
81+
and Similar Rights in Your contributions to Adapted Material in

83+
84+
c. Copyright and Similar Rights means copyright and/or similar rights
85+
closely related to copyright including, without limitation,
86+

87+
Rights, without regard to how the rights are labeled or
88+
categorized. For purposes of this Public License, the rights
89+
specified in Section 2(b)(1)-(2) are not Copyright and Similar
90+
Rights.
91+
92+
d. Effective Technological Measures means those measures that, in the
93+
absence of proper authority, may not be circumvented under laws
94+
fulfilling obligations under Article 11 of the WIPO Copyright
95+
Treaty adopted on December 20, 1996, and/or similar international
96+
agreements.
97+
98+
e. Exceptions and Limitations means fair use, fair dealing, and/or

104+
License.
105+
106+
g. Licensed Rights means the rights granted to You subject to the
107+
terms and conditions of this Public License, which are limited to
108+
all Copyright and Similar Rights that apply to Your use of the
109+
Licensed Material and that the Licensor has authority to license.
110+
111+
h. Licensor means the individual(s) or entity(ies) granting rights
112+
under this Public License.
113+
114+
i. Share means to provide material to the public by any means or
115+
process that requires permission under the Licensed Rights, such
116+
as reproduction, public display, public performance, distribution,
117+
dissemination, communication, or importation, and to make material
118+
available to the public including in ways that members of the
119+
public may access the material from a place and at a time
120+
individually chosen by them.
121+
122+
j. Sui Generis Database Rights means rights other than copyright
123+
resulting from Directive 96/9/EC of the European Parliament and of
124+
the Council of 11 March 1996 on the legal protection of databases,
125+
as amended and/or succeeded, as well as other essentially
126+
equivalent rights anywhere in the world.
127+
128+
k. You means the individual or entity exercising the Licensed Rights
129+
under this Public License. Your has a corresponding meaning.
130+
131+
Section 2 -- Scope.
132+
133+
a. License grant.
134+
135+
1. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Public License,
136+
the Licensor hereby grants You a worldwide, royalty-free,
137+
non-sublicensable, non-exclusive, irrevocable license to
138+
exercise the Licensed Rights in the Licensed Material to:
139+
140+
a. reproduce and Share the Licensed Material, in whole or
141+
in part; and
142+
143+
b. produce, reproduce, and Share Adapted Material.
144+
145+
2. Exceptions and Limitations. For the avoidance of doubt, where
146+
Exceptions and Limitations apply to Your use, this Public
147+
License does not apply, and You do not need to comply with
148+
its terms and conditions.
149+
150+
3. Term. The term of this Public License is specified in Section
151+
6(a).
152+
153+
4. Media and formats; technical modifications allowed. The
154+
Licensor authorizes You to exercise the Licensed Rights in
155+
all media and formats whether now known or hereafter created,
156+
and to make technical modifications necessary to do so. The
157+
Licensor waives and/or agrees not to assert any right or
158+
authority to forbid You from making technical modifications
159+
necessary to exercise the Licensed Rights, including
160+
technical modifications necessary to circumvent Effective
161+
Technological Measures. For purposes of this Public License,
162+
simply making modifications authorized by this Section 2(a)
163+
(4) never produces Adapted Material.
164+
165+
5. Downstream recipients.
166+
167+
a. Offer from the Licensor -- Licensed Material. Every
168+
recipient of the Licensed Material automatically
169+
receives an offer from the Licensor to exercise the
170+
Licensed Rights under the terms and conditions of this
171+
Public License.
172+
173+
b. No downstream restrictions. You may not offer or impose
174+
any additional or different terms or conditions on, or
175+
apply any Effective Technological Measures to, the
176+
Licensed Material if doing so restricts exercise of the
177+
Licensed Rights by any recipient of the Licensed
178+
Material.
179+
180+
6. No endorsement. Nothing in this Public License constitutes or
181+
may be construed as permission to assert or imply that You
182+
are, or that Your use of the Licensed Material is, connected
183+
with, or sponsored, endorsed, or granted official status by,
184+
the Licensor or others designated to receive attribution as
185+
provided in Section 3(a)(1)(A)(i).
186+
187+
b. Other rights.
188+
189+
1. Moral rights, such as the right of integrity, are not
190+
licensed under this Public License, nor are publicity,
191+
privacy, and/or other similar personality rights; however, to
192+
the extent possible, the Licensor waives and/or agrees not to
193+
assert any such rights held by the Licensor to the limited
194+
extent necessary to allow You to exercise the Licensed
195+
Rights, but not otherwise.
196+
197+
2. Patent and trademark rights are not licensed under this
198+
Public License.
199+
200+
3. To the extent possible, the Licensor waives any right to
201+
collect royalties from You for the exercise of the Licensed
202+
Rights, whether directly or through a collecting society
203+
under any voluntary or waivable statutory or compulsory
204+
licensing scheme. In all other cases the Licensor expressly
205+
reserves any right to collect such royalties.
206+
207+
Section 3 -- License Conditions.
208+
209+
Your exercise of the Licensed Rights is expressly made subject to the
210+
following conditions.
211+
212+
a. Attribution.
213+
214+
1. If You Share the Licensed Material (including in modified
215+
form), You must:
216+
217+
a. retain the following if it is supplied by the Licensor
218+
with the Licensed Material:
219+
220+
i. identification of the creator(s) of the Licensed
221+
Material and any others designated to receive
222+
attribution, in any reasonable manner requested by
223+
the Licensor (including by pseudonym if
224+
designated);
225+
226+
ii. a copyright notice;
227+
228+
iii. a notice that refers to this Public License;
229+
230+
iv. a notice that refers to the disclaimer of
231+
warranties;
232+
233+
v. a URI or hyperlink to the Licensed Material to the
234+
extent reasonably practicable;
235+
236+
b. indicate if You modified the Licensed Material and
237+
retain an indication of any previous modifications; and
238+
239+
c. indicate the Licensed Material is licensed under this
240+
Public License, and include the text of, or the URI or
241+
hyperlink to, this Public License.
242+
243+
2. You may satisfy the conditions in Section 3(a)(1) in any
244+
reasonable manner based on the medium, means, and context in
245+
which You Share the Licensed Material. For example, it may be
246+
reasonable to satisfy the conditions by providing a URI or
247+
hyperlink to a resource that includes the required
248+
information.
249+
250+
3. If requested by the Licensor, You must remove any of the
251+
information required by Section 3(a)(1)(A) to the extent
252+
reasonably practicable.
253+
254+
4. If You Share Adapted Material You produce, the Adapter's
255+
License You apply must not prevent recipients of the Adapted
256+
Material from complying with this Public License.
257+
258+
Section 4 -- Sui Generis Database Rights.
259+
260+
Where the Licensed Rights include Sui Generis Database Rights that
261+
apply to Your use of the Licensed Material:
262+
263+
a. for the avoidance of doubt, Section 2(a)(1) grants You the right
264+
to extract, reuse, reproduce, and Share all or a substantial
265+
portion of the contents of the database;
266+
267+
b. if You include all or a substantial portion of the database
268+
contents in a database in which You have Sui Generis Database
269+
Rights, then the database in which You have Sui Generis Database
270+
Rights (but not its individual contents) is Adapted Material; and
271+
272+
c. You must comply with the conditions in Section 3(a) if You Share
273+
all or a substantial portion of the contents of the database.
274+
275+
For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 4 supplements and does not
276+
replace Your obligations under this Public License where the Licensed
277+
Rights include other Copyright and Similar Rights.
278+
279+
Section 5 -- Disclaimer of Warranties and Limitation of Liability.
280+
281+
a. UNLESS OTHERWISE SEPARATELY UNDERTAKEN BY THE LICENSOR, TO THE
282+
EXTENT POSSIBLE, THE LICENSOR OFFERS THE LICENSED MATERIAL AS-IS
283+
AND AS-AVAILABLE, AND MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF
284+
ANY KIND CONCERNING THE LICENSED MATERIAL, WHETHER EXPRESS,
285+
IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHER. THIS INCLUDES, WITHOUT LIMITATION,
286+
WARRANTIES OF TITLE, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
287+
PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ABSENCE OF LATENT OR OTHER DEFECTS,
288+
ACCURACY, OR THE PRESENCE OR ABSENCE OF ERRORS, WHETHER OR NOT
289+
KNOWN OR DISCOVERABLE. WHERE DISCLAIMERS OF WARRANTIES ARE NOT
290+
ALLOWED IN FULL OR IN PART, THIS DISCLAIMER MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
291+
292+
b. TO THE EXTENT POSSIBLE, IN NO EVENT WILL THE LICENSOR BE LIABLE
293+
TO YOU ON ANY LEGAL THEORY (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION,
294+
NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHERWISE FOR ANY DIRECT, SPECIAL, INDIRECT,
295+
INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, OR OTHER LOSSES,
296+
COSTS, EXPENSES, OR DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THIS PUBLIC LICENSE OR
297+
USE OF THE LICENSED MATERIAL, EVEN IF THE LICENSOR HAS BEEN
298+
ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LOSSES, COSTS, EXPENSES, OR
299+
DAMAGES. WHERE A LIMITATION OF LIABILITY IS NOT ALLOWED IN FULL OR
300+
IN PART, THIS LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
301+
302+
c. The disclaimer of warranties and limitation of liability provided
303+
above shall be interpreted in a manner that, to the extent
304+
possible, most closely approximates an absolute disclaimer and
305+
waiver of all liability.
306+
307+
Section 6 -- Term and Termination.
308+
309+
a. This Public License applies for the term of the Copyright and
310+
Similar Rights licensed here. However, if You fail to comply with
311+
this Public License, then Your rights under this Public License
312+
terminate automatically.
313+
314+
b. Where Your right to use the Licensed Material has terminated under
315+
Section 6(a), it reinstates:
316+
317+
1. automatically as of the date the violation is cured, provided
318+
it is cured within 30 days of Your discovery of the
319+
violation; or
320+
321+
2. upon express reinstatement by the Licensor.
322+
323+
For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 6(b) does not affect any
324+
right the Licensor may have to seek remedies for Your violations
325+
of this Public License.
326+
327+
c. For the avoidance of doubt, the Licensor may also offer the
328+
Licensed Material under separate terms or conditions or stop
329+
distributing the Licensed Material at any time; however, doing so
330+
will not terminate this Public License.
331+
332+
d. Sections 1, 5, 6, 7, and 8 survive termination of this Public
333+
License.
334+
335+
Section 7 -- Other Terms and Conditions.
336+
337+
a. The Licensor shall not be bound by any additional or different
338+
terms or conditions communicated by You unless expressly agreed.
339+
340+
b. Any arrangements, understandings, or agreements regarding the
341+
Licensed Material not stated herein are separate from and
342+
independent of the terms and conditions of this Public License.
343+
344+
Section 8 -- Interpretation.
345+
346+
a. For the avoidance of doubt, this Public License does not, and
347+
shall not be interpreted to, reduce, limit, restrict, or impose
348+
conditions on any use of the Licensed Material that could lawfully
349+
be made without permission under this Public License.
350+
351+
b. To the extent possible, if any provision of this Public License is
352+
deemed unenforceable, it shall be automatically reformed to the
353+
minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable. If the provision
354+
cannot be reformed, it shall be severed from this Public License
355+
without affecting the enforceability of the remaining terms and
356+
conditions.
357+
358+
c. No term or condition of this Public License will be waived and no
359+
failure to comply consented to unless expressly agreed to by the
360+
Licensor.
361+
362+
d. Nothing in this Public License constitutes or may be interpreted
363+
as a limitation upon, or waiver of, any privileges and immunities
364+
that apply to the Licensor or You, including from the legal
365+
processes of any jurisdiction or authority.
