common-licenses: Adding new licenses and renaming
I'm adding full common licenses to the common license directory. These licenses are taken from the SPDX project or the OSI license repository. They conform to the SPDX naming convention and will be used by the new license.bbclass license parser in order to maintain some sort of internal standard for license naming. Going forward, we should have a bigger conversation about the LICENSE field and standardizing that to conform to this naming standard.

10License
11
12THE WORK (AS DEFINED BELOW) IS PROVIDED UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS CREATIVE
13COMMONS PUBLIC LICENSE ("CCPL" OR "LICENSE"). THE WORK IS
14PROTECTED BY COPYRIGHT AND/OR OTHER APPLICABLE LAW. ANY USE OF THE WORK OTHER
15THAN AS AUTHORIZED UNDER THIS LICENSE OR COPYRIGHT LAW IS PROHIBITED.
16
17BY EXERCISING ANY RIGHTS TO THE WORK PROVIDED HERE, YOU ACCEPT AND AGREE TO BE
18BOUND BY THE TERMS OF THIS LICENSE. THE LICENSOR GRANTS YOU THE RIGHTS
19CONTAINED HERE IN CONSIDERATION OF YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF SUCH TERMS AND
20CONDITIONS.

221. Definitions
23
24"Collective Work" means a work, such as a periodical issue, anthology
25or encyclopedia, in which the Work in its entirety in unmodified form, along
26with a number of other contributions, constituting separate and independent
27works in themselves, are assembled into a collective whole. A work that
28constitutes a Collective Work will not be considered a Derivative Work (as
29defined below) for the purposes of this License.
30"Derivative Work" means a work based upon the Work or upon the Work
31and other pre-existing works, such as a translation, musical arrangement,
32dramatization, fictionalization, motion picture version, sound recording, art
33reproduction, abridgment, condensation, or any other form in which the Work may
34be recast, transformed, or adapted, except that a work that constitutes a
35Collective Work will not be considered a Derivative Work for the purpose of
36this License. For the avoidance of doubt, where the Work is a musical
37composition or sound recording, the synchronization of the Work in timed-
38relation with a moving image ("synching") will be considered a
39Derivative Work for the purpose of this License.
40"Licensor" means the individual or entity that offers the Work under
41the terms of this License.
42"Original Author" means the individual or entity who created the
43Work.
44"Work" means the copyrightable work of authorship offered under the
45terms of this License.
46"You" means an individual or entity exercising rights under this
47License who has not previously violated the terms of this License with respect
48to the Work, or who has received express permission from the Licensor to
49exercise rights under this License despite a previous violation.
502. Fair Use Rights. Nothing in this license is intended to reduce, limit, or
51restrict any rights arising from fair use, first sale or other limitations on
52the exclusive rights of the copyright owner under copyright law or other
53applicable laws.
54
553. License Grant. Subject to the terms and conditions of this License, Licensor
56hereby grants You a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive, perpetual (for the
57duration of the applicable copyright) license to exercise the rights in the
58Work as stated below:
59
60to reproduce the Work, to incorporate the Work into one or more Collective
61Works, and to reproduce the Work as incorporated in the Collective Works;
62to create and reproduce Derivative Works;
63to distribute copies or phonorecords of, display publicly, perform publicly,
64and perform publicly by means of a digital audio transmission the Work
65including as incorporated in Collective Works;
66to distribute copies or phonorecords of, display publicly, perform publicly,
67and perform publicly by means of a digital audio transmission Derivative Works.
68For the avoidance of doubt, where the work is a musical composition:
69
70Performance Royalties Under Blanket Licenses. Licensor waives the exclusive
71right to collect, whether individually or via a performance rights society
72(e.g. ASCAP, BMI, SESAC), royalties for the public performance or public
73digital performance (e.g. webcast) of the Work.
74Mechanical Rights and Statutory Royalties. Licensor waives the exclusive right
75to collect, whether individually or via a music rights agency or designated
76agent (e.g. Harry Fox Agency), royalties for any phonorecord You create from
77the Work ("cover version") and distribute, subject to the compulsory
78license created by 17 USC Section 115 of the US Copyright Act (or the
79equivalent in other jurisdictions).
80Webcasting Rights and Statutory Royalties. For the avoidance of doubt, where
81the Work is a sound recording, Licensor waives the exclusive right to collect,
82whether individually or via a performance-rights society (e.g. SoundExchange),
83royalties for the public digital performance (e.g. webcast) of the Work,
84subject to the compulsory license created by 17 USC Section 114 of the US
85Copyright Act (or the equivalent in other jurisdictions).
86The above rights may be exercised in all media and formats whether now known or
87hereafter devised. The above rights include the right to make such
88modifications as are technically necessary to exercise the rights in other
89media and formats. All rights not expressly granted by Licensor are hereby
90reserved.
91
924. Restrictions.The license granted in Section 3 above is expressly made
93subject to and limited by the following restrictions:
94
95You may distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, or publicly digitally
96perform the Work only under the terms of this License, and You must include a
97copy of, or the Uniform Resource Identifier for, this License with every copy
98or phonorecord of the Work You distribute, publicly display, publicly perform,
99or publicly digitally perform. You may not offer or impose any terms on the
100Work that alter or restrict the terms of this License or the recipients'
101exercise of the rights granted hereunder. You may not sublicense the Work. You
102must keep intact all notices that refer to this License and to the disclaimer
103of warranties. You may not distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, or
104publicly digitally perform the Work with any technological measures that
105control access or use of the Work in a manner inconsistent with the terms of
106this License Agreement. The above applies to the Work as incorporated in a
107Collective Work, but this does not require the Collective Work apart from the
108Work itself to be made subject to the terms of this License. If You create a
109Collective Work, upon notice from any Licensor You must, to the extent
110practicable, remove from the Collective Work any credit as required by clause 4
111(b), as requested. If You create a Derivative Work, upon notice from any
112Licensor You must, to the extent practicable, remove from the Derivative Work
113any credit as required by clause 4(b), as requested.
114If you distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, or publicly digitally
115perform the Work or any Derivative Works or Collective Works, You must keep
116intact all copyright notices for the Work and provide, reasonable to the medium
117or means You are utilizing: (i) the name of the Original Author (or pseudonym,
118if applicable) if supplied, and/or (ii) if the Original Author and/or Licensor
119designate another party or parties (e.g. a sponsor institute, publishing
120entity, journal) for attribution in Licensor's copyright notice, terms of
121service or by other reasonable means, the name of such party or parties; the
122title of the Work if supplied; to the extent reasonably practicable, the
123Uniform Resource Identifier, if any, that Licensor specifies to be associated
124with the Work, unless such URI does not refer to the copyright notice or
125licensing information for the Work; and in the case of a Derivative Work, a
126credit identifying the use of the Work in the Derivative Work (e.g.,
127"French translation of the Work by Original Author," or
128"Screenplay based on original Work by Original Author"). Such credit
129may be implemented in any reasonable manner; provided, however, that in the
130case of a Derivative Work or Collective Work, at a minimum such credit will
131appear where any other comparable authorship credit appears and in a manner at
132least as prominent as such other comparable authorship credit.
1335. Representations, Warranties and Disclaimer
134
135UNLESS OTHERWISE MUTUALLY AGREED TO BY THE PARTIES IN WRITING, LICENSOR OFFERS
136THE WORK AS-IS AND MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND
137CONCERNING THE WORK, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING,
138WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTIES OF TITLE, MERCHANTIBILITY, FITNESS FOR A
139PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NONINFRINGEMENT, OR THE ABSENCE OF LATENT OR OTHER DEFECTS,
140ACCURACY, OR THE PRESENCE OF ABSENCE OF ERRORS, WHETHER OR NOT DISCOVERABLE.
141SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO SUCH
142EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
143
1446. Limitation on Liability. EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN
145NO EVENT WILL LICENSOR BE LIABLE TO YOU ON ANY LEGAL THEORY FOR ANY SPECIAL,
146INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THIS
147LICENSE OR THE USE OF THE WORK, EVEN IF LICENSOR HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
148POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
149
1507. Termination
151
152This License and the rights granted hereunder will terminate automatically upon
153any breach by You of the terms of this License. Individuals or entities who
154have received Derivative Works or Collective Works from You under this License,
155however, will not have their licenses terminated provided such individuals or
156entities remain in full compliance with those licenses. Sections 1, 2, 5, 6, 7,
157and 8 will survive any termination of this License.
158Subject to the above terms and conditions, the license granted here is
159perpetual (for the duration of the applicable copyright in the Work).
160Notwithstanding the above, Licensor reserves the right to release the Work
161under different license terms or to stop distributing the Work at any time;
162provided, however that any such election will not serve to withdraw this
163License (or any other license that has been, or is required to be, granted
164under the terms of this License), and this License will continue in full force
165and effect unless terminated as stated above.
1668. Miscellaneous
167

169Work, the Licensor offers to the recipient a license to the Work on the same
170terms and conditions as the license granted to You under this License.
171Each time You distribute or publicly digitally perform a Derivative Work,
172Licensor offers to the recipient a license to the original Work on the same
173terms and conditions as the license granted to You under this License.
174If any provision of this License is invalid or unenforceable under applicable
175law, it shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of the
176terms of this License, and without further action by the parties to this
177agreement, such provision shall be reformed to the minimum extent necessary to
178make such provision valid and enforceable.
179No term or provision of this License shall be deemed waived and no breach
180consented to unless such waiver or consent shall be in writing and signed by
181the party to be charged with such waiver or consent.
182This License constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect
183to the Work licensed here. There are no understandings, agreements or
184representations with respect to the Work not specified here. Licensor shall not
185be bound by any additional provisions that may appear in any communication from
186You. This License may not be modified without the mutual written agreement of
187the Licensor and You.
188Creative Commons is not a party to this License, and makes no warranty
189whatsoever in connection with the Work. Creative Commons will not be liable to
190You or any party on any legal theory for any damages whatsoever, including
191without limitation any general, special, incidental or consequential damages
192arising in connection to this license. Notwithstanding the foregoing two (2)
193sentences, if Creative Commons has expressly identified itself as the Licensor
194hereunder, it shall have all rights and obligations of Licensor.
195

197licensed under the CCPL, neither party will use the trademark "Creative
198Commons" or any related trademark or logo of Creative Commons without the
199prior written consent of Creative Commons. Any permitted use will be in
