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.

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.
39"Licensor" means the individual or entity that offers the Work under
40the terms of this License.
41"Original Author" means the individual or entity who created the
42Work.
43"Work" means the copyrightable work of authorship offered under the
44terms of this License.
45"You" means an individual or entity exercising rights under this
46License who has not previously violated the terms of this License with respect
47to the Work, or who has received express permission from the Licensor to
48exercise rights under this License despite a previous violation.
492. Fair Use Rights. Nothing in this license is intended to reduce, limit, or
50restrict any rights arising from fair use, first sale or other limitations on
51the exclusive rights of the copyright owner under copyright law or other
52applicable laws.
53
543. License Grant. Subject to the terms and conditions of this License, Licensor
55hereby grants You a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive, perpetual (for the
56duration of the applicable copyright) license to exercise the rights in the
57Work as stated below:
58
59to reproduce the Work, to incorporate the Work into one or more Collective
60Works, and to reproduce the Work as incorporated in the Collective Works;
61to create and reproduce Derivative Works;
62to distribute copies or phonorecords of, display publicly, perform publicly,
63and perform publicly by means of a digital audio transmission the Work
64including as incorporated in Collective Works;
65to distribute copies or phonorecords of, display publicly, perform publicly,
66and perform publicly by means of a digital audio transmission Derivative Works;
67The above rights may be exercised in all media and formats whether now known or
68hereafter devised. The above rights include the right to make such
69modifications as are technically necessary to exercise the rights in other
70media and formats. All rights not expressly granted by Licensor are hereby
71reserved.
72
734. Restrictions. The license granted in Section 3 above is expressly made
74subject to and limited by the following restrictions:
75
76You may distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, or publicly digitally
77perform the Work only under the terms of this License, and You must include a
78copy of, or the Uniform Resource Identifier for, this License with every copy
79or phonorecord of the Work You distribute, publicly display, publicly perform,
80or publicly digitally perform. You may not offer or impose any terms on the
81Work that alter or restrict the terms of this License or the recipients'
82exercise of the rights granted hereunder. You may not sublicense the Work. You
83must keep intact all notices that refer to this License and to the disclaimer
84of warranties. You may not distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, or
85publicly digitally perform the Work with any technological measures that
86control access or use of the Work in a manner inconsistent with the terms of
87this License Agreement. The above applies to the Work as incorporated in a
88Collective Work, but this does not require the Collective Work apart from the
89Work itself to be made subject to the terms of this License. If You create a
90Collective Work, upon notice from any Licensor You must, to the extent
91practicable, remove from the Collective Work any reference to such Licensor or
92the Original Author, as requested. If You create a Derivative Work, upon notice
93from any Licensor You must, to the extent practicable, remove from the
94Derivative Work any reference to such Licensor or the Original Author, as
95requested.
96You may distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, or publicly digitally
97perform a Derivative Work only under the terms of this License, and You must
98include a copy of, or the Uniform Resource Identifier for, this License with
99every copy or phonorecord of each Derivative Work You distribute, publicly
100display, publicly perform, or publicly digitally perform. You may not offer or
101impose any terms on the Derivative Works that alter or restrict the terms of
102this License or the recipients' exercise of the rights granted hereunder, and
103You must keep intact all notices that refer to this License and to the
104disclaimer of warranties. You may not distribute, publicly display, publicly
105perform, or publicly digitally perform the Derivative Work with any
106technological measures that control access or use of the Work in a manner
107inconsistent with the terms of this License Agreement. The above applies to the
108Derivative Work as incorporated in a Collective Work, but this does not require
109the Collective Work apart from the Derivative Work itself to be made subject to
110the terms of this License.
111If you distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, or publicly digitally
112perform the Work or any Derivative Works or Collective Works, You must keep
113intact all copyright notices for the Work and give the Original Author credit
114reasonable to the medium or means You are utilizing by conveying the name (or
115pseudonym if applicable) of the Original Author if supplied; the title of the
116Work if supplied; in the case of a Derivative Work, a credit identifying the
117use of the Work in the Derivative Work (e.g., "French translation of the
118Work by Original Author," or "Screenplay based on original Work by
119Original Author"). Such credit may be implemented in any reasonable
120manner; provided, however, that in the case of a Derivative Work or Collective
121Work, at a minimum such credit will appear where any other comparable
122authorship credit appears and in a manner at least as prominent as such other
123comparable authorship credit.
1245. Representations, Warranties and Disclaimer
125
126By offering the Work for public release under this License, Licensor represents
127and warrants that, to the best of Licensor's knowledge after reasonable
128inquiry:
129Licensor has secured all rights in the Work necessary to grant the license
130rights hereunder and to permit the lawful exercise of the rights granted
131hereunder without You having any obligation to pay any royalties, compulsory
132license fees, residuals or any other payments;
133The Work does not infringe the copyright, trademark, publicity rights, common
134law rights or any other right of any third party or constitute defamation,
135invasion of privacy or other tortious injury to any third party.
136EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY STATED IN THIS LICENSE OR OTHERWISE AGREED IN WRITING OR
137REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE WORK IS LICENSED ON AN "AS IS" BASIS,
138WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED INCLUDING, WITHOUT
139LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTIES REGARDING THE CONTENTS OR ACCURACY OF THE WORK.
1406. Limitation on Liability. EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW,
141AND EXCEPT FOR DAMAGES ARISING FROM LIABILITY TO A THIRD PARTY RESULTING FROM
142BREACH OF THE WARRANTIES IN SECTION 5, IN NO EVENT WILL LICENSOR BE LIABLE TO
143YOU ON ANY LEGAL THEORY FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR
144EXEMPLARY DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THIS LICENSE OR THE USE OF THE WORK, EVEN IF
145LICENSOR HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
146
1477. Termination
148
149This License and the rights granted hereunder will terminate automatically upon
150any breach by You of the terms of this License. Individuals or entities who
151have received Derivative Works or Collective Works from You under this License,
152however, will not have their licenses terminated provided such individuals or
153entities remain in full compliance with those licenses. Sections 1, 2, 5, 6, 7,
154and 8 will survive any termination of this License.
155Subject to the above terms and conditions, the license granted here is
156perpetual (for the duration of the applicable copyright in the Work).
157Notwithstanding the above, Licensor reserves the right to release the Work
158under different license terms or to stop distributing the Work at any time;
159provided, however that any such election will not serve to withdraw this
160License (or any other license that has been, or is required to be, granted
161under the terms of this License), and this License will continue in full force
162and effect unless terminated as stated above.
1638. Miscellaneous
164
165Each time You distribute or publicly digitally perform the Work or a Collective
166Work, the Licensor offers to the recipient a license to the Work on the same
167terms and conditions as the license granted to You under this License.
168Each time You distribute or publicly digitally perform a Derivative Work,
169Licensor offers to the recipient a license to the original Work on the same
170terms and conditions as the license granted to You under this License.
171If any provision of this License is invalid or unenforceable under applicable
172law, it shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of the
173terms of this License, and without further action by the parties to this
174agreement, such provision shall be reformed to the minimum extent necessary to
175make such provision valid and enforceable.
176No term or provision of this License shall be deemed waived and no breach
177consented to unless such waiver or consent shall be in writing and signed by
178the party to be charged with such waiver or consent.
179This License constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect
180to the Work licensed here. There are no understandings, agreements or
181representations with respect to the Work not specified here. Licensor shall not
182be bound by any additional provisions that may appear in any communication from
183You. This License may not be modified without the mutual written agreement of
184the Licensor and You.

186whatsoever in connection with the Work. Creative Commons will not be liable to
187You or any party on any legal theory for any damages whatsoever, including
188without limitation any general, special, incidental or consequential damages
189arising in connection to this license. Notwithstanding the foregoing two (2)
190sentences, if Creative Commons has expressly identified itself as the Licensor
191hereunder, it shall have all rights and obligations of Licensor.
192
193Except for the limited purpose of indicating to the public that the Work is
194licensed under the CCPL, neither party will use the trademark "Creative
195Commons" or any related trademark or logo of Creative Commons without the
196prior written consent of Creative Commons. Any permitted use will be in
