DISTRIBUTION OF THIS LICENSE DOES NOT CREATE AN + ATTORNEY-CLIENT RELATIONSHIP. CREATIVE COMMONS PROVIDES THIS + INFORMATION ON AN "AS-IS" BASIS. CREATIVE COMMONS MAKES NO WARRANTIES + REGARDING THE INFORMATION PROVIDED, AND DISCLAIMS LIABILITY FOR + DAMAGES RESULTING FROM ITS USE. + +License + +THE WORK (AS DEFINED BELOW) IS PROVIDED UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS CREATIVE +COMMONS PUBLIC LICENSE ("CCPL" OR "LICENSE").

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 BOUND BY THE TERMS OF THIS LICENSE. THE LICENSOR GRANTS YOU THE +RIGHTS CONTAINED HERE IN CONSIDERATION OF YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF SUCH TERMS +AND CONDITIONS. + +1. Definitions + + a. "Collective Work" means a work, such as a periodical issue, anthology + or encyclopedia, in which the Work in its entirety in unmodified form, + along with a number of other contributions, constituting separate and + independent works in themselves, are assembled into a collective + whole. A work that constitutes a Collective Work will not be + considered a Derivative Work (as defined below) for the purposes of + this License. + b. "Derivative Work" means a work based upon the Work or upon the Work + and other pre-existing works, such as a translation, musical + arrangement, dramatization, fictionalization, motion picture version, + sound recording, art reproduction, abridgment, condensation, or any + other form in which the Work may be recast, transformed, or adapted, + except that a work that constitutes a Collective Work will not be + considered a Derivative Work for the purpose of this License. For the + avoidance of doubt, where the Work is a musical composition or sound + recording, the synchronization of the Work in timed-relation with a + moving image ("synching") will be considered a Derivative Work for the + purpose of this License. + c. "Licensor" means the individual or entity that offers the Work under + the terms of this License. + d. "Original Author" means the individual or entity who created the Work. + e. "Work" means the copyrightable work of authorship offered under the + terms of this License. + f. "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. + +2. Fair Use Rights. Nothing in this license is intended to reduce, limit, +or restrict any rights arising from fair use, first sale or other +limitations on the exclusive rights of the copyright owner 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 + Collective Works, and to reproduce the Work as incorporated in the + Collective Works; + b. to create and reproduce Derivative Works; + c. to distribute copies or phonorecords of, display publicly, perform + publicly, and perform publicly by means of a digital audio + transmission the Work including as incorporated in Collective Works; + d. to distribute copies or phonorecords of, display publicly, perform + publicly, and perform publicly by means of a digital audio + transmission Derivative Works. + e. For the avoidance of doubt, where the work is a musical composition: + + i. Performance Royalties Under Blanket Licenses. Licensor waives + the exclusive right to collect, whether individually or via a + performance rights society (e.g. ASCAP, BMI, SESAC), royalties + for the public performance or public digital performance (e.g. + webcast) of the Work. + ii. Mechanical Rights and Statutory Royalties. Licensor waives the + exclusive right to collect, whether individually or via a music + rights agency or designated agent (e.g. Harry Fox Agency), + royalties for any phonorecord You create from the Work ("cover + version") and distribute, subject to the compulsory license + created by 17 USC Section 115 of the US Copyright Act (or the + equivalent in other jurisdictions). + + f. Webcasting Rights and Statutory Royalties. For the avoidance of + doubt, where the Work is a sound recording, Licensor waives the + exclusive right to collect, whether individually or via a + performance-rights society (e.g. SoundExchange), royalties for the + public digital performance (e.g. webcast) of the Work, subject to the + compulsory license created by 17 USC Section 114 of the US Copyright + Act (or the equivalent in other jurisdictions). + +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. 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, publicly display, publicly perform, or publicly + digitally perform the Work only under the terms of this License, and + You must include a copy of, or the Uniform Resource Identifier for, + this License with every copy or phonorecord of the Work You + distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, or publicly digitally + perform. You may not offer or impose any terms on the Work that alter + or restrict the terms of this License or the recipients' exercise of + the rights granted hereunder. You may not sublicense the Work. You + must keep intact all notices that refer to this License and to the + disclaimer of warranties. You may not distribute, publicly display, + publicly perform, or publicly digitally perform the Work with any + technological measures that control access or use of the Work in a + manner inconsistent with the terms of this License Agreement. The + above applies to the Work as incorporated in a Collective Work, but + this does not require the Collective Work apart from the Work itself + to be made subject to the terms of this License. If You create a + Collective Work, upon notice from any Licensor You must, to the extent + practicable, remove from the Collective Work any reference to such + Licensor or the Original Author, as requested. If You create a + Derivative Work, upon notice from any Licensor You must, to the extent + practicable, remove from the Derivative Work any reference to such + Licensor or the Original Author, as requested. + b. If you distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, or publicly + digitally perform the Work or any Derivative Works or Collective + Works, You must keep intact all copyright notices for the Work and + give the Original Author credit reasonable to the medium or means You + are utilizing by conveying the name (or pseudonym if applicable) of + the Original Author if supplied; the title of the Work if supplied; to + the extent reasonably practicable, the Uniform Resource Identifier, 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; and in the case of a Derivative Work, a + credit identifying the use of the Work in the Derivative Work (e.g., + "French translation of the Work by Original Author," or "Screenplay + based on original Work by Original Author"). Such credit may be + implemented in any reasonable manner; provided, however, that in the + case of a Derivative Work or Collective Work, at a minimum such credit + will appear where any other comparable authorship credit appears and + in a manner at least as prominent as such other comparable authorship + credit. + +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 Derivative Works or + Collective Works 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 digitally perform the Work or a + Collective Work, 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. Each time You distribute or publicly digitally perform a Derivative + Work, Licensor offers to the recipient a license to the original Work + on the same terms and conditions as the license granted to You under + this License. + c. 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. + d. 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. + e. 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. + + + Creative Commons is not a party to this License, and makes no warranty + whatsoever in connection with the Work. Creative Commons will not be + liable to You or any party on any legal theory for any damages + whatsoever, including without limitation any general, special, + incidental or consequential damages arising in connection to this + license. Notwithstanding the foregoing two (2) sentences, if Creative + Commons has expressly identified itself as the Licensor hereunder, it + shall have all rights and obligations of Licensor. + + Except for the limited purpose of indicating to the public that the + Work is licensed under the CCPL, neither party will use the trademark + "Creative Commons" or any related trademark or logo of Creative + Commons without the prior written consent of Creative Commons. Any + permitted use will be in compliance with Creative Commons' + then-current trademark usage guidelines, as may be published on its + website or otherwise made available upon request from time to time. + + Creative Commons may be contacted at http://creativecommons.org/. |
