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.

12License
13
14THE WORK (AS DEFINED BELOW) IS PROVIDED UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS CREATIVE
15COMMONS PUBLIC LICENSE ("CCPL" OR "LICENSE"). THE WORK IS
16PROTECTED BY COPYRIGHT AND/OR OTHER APPLICABLE LAW. ANY USE OF THE WORK OTHER
17THAN AS AUTHORIZED UNDER THIS LICENSE OR COPYRIGHT LAW IS PROHIBITED.
18
19BY EXERCISING ANY RIGHTS TO THE WORK PROVIDED HERE, YOU ACCEPT AND AGREE TO BE
20BOUND BY THE TERMS OF THIS LICENSE. THE LICENSOR GRANTS YOU THE RIGHTS
21CONTAINED HERE IN CONSIDERATION OF YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF SUCH TERMS AND
22CONDITIONS.
23
241. Definitions
25
26"Collective Work" means a work, such as a periodical issue, anthology
27or encyclopedia, in which the Work in its entirety in unmodified form, along
28with a number of other contributions, constituting separate and independent
29works in themselves, are assembled into a collective whole. A work that
30constitutes a Collective Work will not be considered a Derivative Work (as
31defined below) for the purposes of this License.
32"Derivative Work" means a work based upon the Work or upon the Work
33and other pre-existing works, such as a translation, musical arrangement,
34dramatization, fictionalization, motion picture version, sound recording, art
35reproduction, abridgment, condensation, or any other form in which the Work may
36be recast, transformed, or adapted, except that a work that constitutes a
37Collective Work will not be considered a Derivative Work for the purpose of
38this License. For the avoidance of doubt, where the Work is a musical
39composition or sound recording, the synchronization of the Work in timed-
40relation with a moving image ("synching") will be considered a
41Derivative Work for the purpose of this License.
42"Licensor" means the individual or entity that offers the Work under
43the terms of this License.
44"Original Author" means the individual or entity who created the
45Work.
46"Work" means the copyrightable work of authorship offered under the
47terms of this License.
48"You" means an individual or entity exercising rights under this
49License who has not previously violated the terms of this License with respect
50to the Work, or who has received express permission from the Licensor to
51exercise rights under this License despite a previous violation.
52"License Elements" means the following high-level license attributes
53as selected by Licensor and indicated in the title of this License:
54Attribution, Noncommercial, ShareAlike.
552. Fair Use Rights. Nothing in this license is intended to reduce, limit, or
56restrict any rights arising from fair use, first sale or other limitations on
57the exclusive rights of the copyright owner under copyright law or other
58applicable laws.
59
603. License Grant. Subject to the terms and conditions of this License, Licensor
61hereby grants You a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive, perpetual (for the
62duration of the applicable copyright) license to exercise the rights in the
63Work as stated below:
64
65to reproduce the Work, to incorporate the Work into one or more Collective
66Works, and to reproduce the Work as incorporated in the Collective Works;
67to create and reproduce Derivative Works;
68to distribute copies or phonorecords of, display publicly, perform publicly,
69and perform publicly by means of a digital audio transmission the Work
70including as incorporated in Collective Works;
71to distribute copies or phonorecords of, display publicly, perform publicly,
72and perform publicly by means of a digital audio transmission Derivative Works;
73The above rights may be exercised in all media and formats whether now known or
74hereafter devised. The above rights include the right to make such
75modifications as are technically necessary to exercise the rights in other
76media and formats. All rights not expressly granted by Licensor are hereby
77reserved, including but not limited to the rights set forth in Sections 4(e)
78and 4(f).
79
804. Restrictions.The license granted in Section 3 above is expressly made
81subject to and limited by the following restrictions:
82
83You may distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, or publicly digitally
84perform the Work only under the terms of this License, and You must include a
85copy of, or the Uniform Resource Identifier for, this License with every copy
86or phonorecord of the Work You distribute, publicly display, publicly perform,
87or publicly digitally perform. You may not offer or impose any terms on the
88Work that alter or restrict the terms of this License or the recipients'
89exercise of the rights granted hereunder. You may not sublicense the Work. You
90must keep intact all notices that refer to this License and to the disclaimer
91of warranties. You may not distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, or
92publicly digitally perform the Work with any technological measures that
93control access or use of the Work in a manner inconsistent with the terms of
94this License Agreement. The above applies to the Work as incorporated in a
95Collective Work, but this does not require the Collective Work apart from the
96Work itself to be made subject to the terms of this License. If You create a
97Collective Work, upon notice from any Licensor You must, to the extent
98practicable, remove from the Collective Work any credit as required by clause 4
99(d), as requested. If You create a Derivative Work, upon notice from any
100Licensor You must, to the extent practicable, remove from the Derivative Work
101any credit as required by clause 4(d), as requested.
102You may distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, or publicly digitally
103perform a Derivative Work only under the terms of this License, a later version
104of this License with the same License Elements as this License, or a Creative
105Commons iCommons license that contains the same License Elements as this
106License (e.g. Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 2.5 Japan). You must include
107a copy of, or the Uniform Resource Identifier for, this License or other
108license specified in the previous sentence with every copy or phonorecord of
109each Derivative Work You distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, or
110publicly digitally perform. You may not offer or impose any terms on the
111Derivative Works that alter or restrict the terms of this License or the
112recipients' exercise of the rights granted hereunder, and You must keep intact
113all notices that refer to this License and to the disclaimer of warranties. You
114may not distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, or publicly digitally
115perform the Derivative Work with any technological measures that control access
116or use of the Work in a manner inconsistent with the terms of this License
117Agreement. The above applies to the Derivative Work as incorporated in a
118Collective Work, but this does not require the Collective Work apart from the
119Derivative Work itself to be made subject to the terms of this License.
120You may not exercise any of the rights granted to You in Section 3 above in any
121manner that is primarily intended for or directed toward commercial advantage
122or private monetary compensation. The exchange of the Work for other
123copyrighted works by means of digital file-sharing or otherwise shall not be
124considered to be intended for or directed toward commercial advantage or
125private monetary compensation, provided there is no payment of any monetary
126compensation in connection with the exchange of copyrighted works.
127If you distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, or publicly digitally
128perform the Work or any Derivative Works or Collective Works, You must keep
129intact all copyright notices for the Work and provide, reasonable to the medium
130or means You are utilizing: (i) the name of the Original Author (or pseudonym,
131if applicable) if supplied, and/or (ii) if the Original Author and/or Licensor
132designate another party or parties (e.g. a sponsor institute, publishing
133entity, journal) for attribution in Licensor's copyright notice, terms of
134service or by other reasonable means, the name of such party or parties; the
135title of the Work if supplied; to the extent reasonably practicable, the
136Uniform Resource Identifier, if any, that Licensor specifies to be associated
137with the Work, unless such URI does not refer to the copyright notice or
138licensing information for the Work; and in the case of a Derivative Work, a
139credit identifying the use of the Work in the Derivative Work (e.g.,
140"French translation of the Work by Original Author," or
141"Screenplay based on original Work by Original Author"). Such credit
142may be implemented in any reasonable manner; provided, however, that in the
143case of a Derivative Work or Collective Work, at a minimum such credit will
144appear where any other comparable authorship credit appears and in a manner at
145least as prominent as such other comparable authorship credit.
146For the avoidance of doubt, where the Work is a musical composition:
147
148Performance Royalties Under Blanket Licenses. Licensor reserves the exclusive
149right to collect, whether individually or via a performance rights society
150(e.g. ASCAP, BMI, SESAC), royalties for the public performance or public
151digital performance (e.g. webcast) of the Work if that performance is primarily
152intended for or directed toward commercial advantage or private monetary
153compensation.
154Mechanical Rights and Statutory Royalties. Licensor reserves the exclusive
155right to collect, whether individually or via a music rights agency or
156designated agent (e.g. Harry Fox Agency), royalties for any phonorecord You
157create from the Work ("cover version") and distribute, subject to the
158compulsory license created by 17 USC Section 115 of the US Copyright Act (or
159the equivalent in other jurisdictions), if Your distribution of such cover
160version is primarily intended for or directed toward commercial advantage or
161private monetary compensation.
162Webcasting Rights and Statutory Royalties. For the avoidance of doubt, where
163the Work is a sound recording, Licensor reserves the exclusive right to
164collect, whether individually or via a performance-rights society (e.g.
165SoundExchange), royalties for the public digital performance (e.g. webcast) of
166the Work, subject to the compulsory license created by 17 USC Section 114 of
167the US Copyright Act (or the equivalent in other jurisdictions), if Your public
168digital performance is primarily intended for or directed toward commercial
169advantage or private monetary compensation.
1705. Representations, Warranties and Disclaimer
171
172UNLESS OTHERWISE MUTUALLY AGREED TO BY THE PARTIES IN WRITING, LICENSOR OFFERS
173THE WORK AS-IS AND MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND
174CONCERNING THE WORK, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING,
175WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTIES OF TITLE, MERCHANTIBILITY, FITNESS FOR A
176PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NONINFRINGEMENT, OR THE ABSENCE OF LATENT OR OTHER DEFECTS,
177ACCURACY, OR THE PRESENCE OF ABSENCE OF ERRORS, WHETHER OR NOT DISCOVERABLE.
178SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO SUCH
179EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
180
1816. Limitation on Liability. EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN
182NO EVENT WILL LICENSOR BE LIABLE TO YOU ON ANY LEGAL THEORY FOR ANY SPECIAL,
183INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THIS
184LICENSE OR THE USE OF THE WORK, EVEN IF LICENSOR HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
185POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
186
1877. Termination
188
189This License and the rights granted hereunder will terminate automatically upon
190any breach by You of the terms of this License. Individuals or entities who
191have received Derivative Works or Collective Works from You under this License,
192however, will not have their licenses terminated provided such individuals or
193entities remain in full compliance with those licenses. Sections 1, 2, 5, 6, 7,
194and 8 will survive any termination of this License.
195Subject to the above terms and conditions, the license granted here is
196perpetual (for the duration of the applicable copyright in the Work).
197Notwithstanding the above, Licensor reserves the right to release the Work
198under different license terms or to stop distributing the Work at any time;
199provided, however that any such election will not serve to withdraw this
200License (or any other license that has been, or is required to be, granted
201under the terms of this License), and this License will continue in full force
202and effect unless terminated as stated above.
2038. Miscellaneous
204
205Each time You distribute or publicly digitally perform the Work or a Collective
206Work, the Licensor offers to the recipient a license to the Work on the same
207terms and conditions as the license granted to You under this License.
208Each time You distribute or publicly digitally perform a Derivative Work,
209Licensor offers to the recipient a license to the original Work on the same
210terms and conditions as the license granted to You under this License.
211If any provision of this License is invalid or unenforceable under applicable
212law, it shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of the
213terms of this License, and without further action by the parties to this
214agreement, such provision shall be reformed to the minimum extent necessary to
215make such provision valid and enforceable.
216No term or provision of this License shall be deemed waived and no breach
217consented to unless such waiver or consent shall be in writing and signed by
218the party to be charged with such waiver or consent.
219This License constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect
220to the Work licensed here. There are no understandings, agreements or
221representations with respect to the Work not specified here. Licensor shall not
222be bound by any additional provisions that may appear in any communication from
223You. This License may not be modified without the mutual written agreement of
224the Licensor and You.
225Creative Commons is not a party to this License, and makes no warranty
226whatsoever in connection with the Work. Creative Commons will not be liable to
227You or any party on any legal theory for any damages whatsoever, including
228without limitation any general, special, incidental or consequential damages
229arising in connection to this license. Notwithstanding the foregoing two (2)
230sentences, if Creative Commons has expressly identified itself as the Licensor
231hereunder, it shall have all rights and obligations of Licensor.
