5 | Creative Commons Corporation ("Creative Commons") is not a law firm and | ||

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 | ||

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: | ||
36 | 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 | ||

143 | Section 2 -- Scope. | ||
144 | |||
145 | a. License grant. | ||
146 | |||
147 | 1. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Public License, | ||
148 | the Licensor hereby grants You a worldwide, royalty-free, | ||
149 | non-sublicensable, non-exclusive, irrevocable license to | ||
150 | exercise the Licensed Rights in the Licensed Material to: | ||
151 | |||
152 | a. reproduce and Share the Licensed Material, in whole or | ||
153 | in part; and | ||
154 | |||
155 | b. produce, reproduce, and Share Adapted Material. | ||
156 | |||
157 | 2. Exceptions and Limitations. For the avoidance of doubt, where | ||
158 | Exceptions and Limitations apply to Your use, this Public | ||
159 | License does not apply, and You do not need to comply with | ||
160 | its terms and conditions. | ||
161 | |||
162 | 3. Term. The term of this Public License is specified in Section | ||
163 | 6(a). | ||
164 | |||
165 | 4. Media and formats; technical modifications allowed. The | ||
166 | Licensor authorizes You to exercise the Licensed Rights in | ||
167 | all media and formats whether now known or hereafter created, | ||
168 | and to make technical modifications necessary to do so. The | ||
169 | Licensor waives and/or agrees not to assert any right or | ||
170 | authority to forbid You from making technical modifications | ||
171 | necessary to exercise the Licensed Rights, including | ||
172 | technical modifications necessary to circumvent Effective | ||
173 | Technological Measures. For purposes of this Public License, | ||
174 | simply making modifications authorized by this Section 2(a) | ||
175 | (4) never produces Adapted Material. | ||
176 | |||
177 | 5. Downstream recipients. | ||
178 | |||
179 | a. Offer from the Licensor -- Licensed Material. Every | ||
180 | recipient of the Licensed Material automatically | ||
181 | receives an offer from the Licensor to exercise the | ||
182 | Licensed Rights under the terms and conditions of this | ||
183 | Public License. | ||
184 | |||
185 | b. Additional offer from the Licensor -- Adapted Material. | ||
186 | Every recipient of Adapted Material from You | ||
187 | automatically receives an offer from the Licensor to | ||
188 | exercise the Licensed Rights in the Adapted Material | ||
189 | under the conditions of the Adapter's License You apply. | ||
190 | |||
191 | c. No downstream restrictions. You may not offer or impose | ||
192 | any additional or different terms or conditions on, or | ||
193 | apply any Effective Technological Measures to, the | ||
194 | Licensed Material if doing so restricts exercise of the | ||
195 | Licensed Rights by any recipient of the Licensed | ||
196 | Material. | ||
197 | |||
198 | 6. No endorsement. Nothing in this Public License constitutes or | ||
199 | may be construed as permission to assert or imply that You | ||
200 | are, or that Your use of the Licensed Material is, connected | ||
201 | with, or sponsored, endorsed, or granted official status by, | ||
202 | the Licensor or others designated to receive attribution as | ||
203 | provided in Section 3(a)(1)(A)(i). | ||
204 | |||
205 | b. Other rights. | ||
206 | |||
207 | 1. Moral rights, such as the right of integrity, are not | ||
208 | licensed under this Public License, nor are publicity, | ||
209 | privacy, and/or other similar personality rights; however, to | ||
210 | the extent possible, the Licensor waives and/or agrees not to | ||
211 | assert any such rights held by the Licensor to the limited | ||
212 | extent necessary to allow You to exercise the Licensed | ||
213 | Rights, but not otherwise. | ||
214 | |||
215 | 2. Patent and trademark rights are not licensed under this | ||
216 | Public License. | ||
217 | |||
218 | 3. To the extent possible, the Licensor waives any right to | ||
219 | collect royalties from You for the exercise of the Licensed | ||
220 | Rights, whether directly or through a collecting society | ||
221 | under any voluntary or waivable statutory or compulsory | ||
222 | licensing scheme. In all other cases the Licensor expressly | ||
223 | reserves any right to collect such royalties. | ||
224 | |||
225 | |||
226 | Section 3 -- License Conditions. | ||
227 | |||
228 | Your exercise of the Licensed Rights is expressly made subject to the | ||
229 | following conditions. | ||
230 | |||
231 | a. Attribution. | ||
232 | |||
233 | 1. If You Share the Licensed Material (including in modified | ||
234 | form), You must: | ||
235 | |||
236 | a. retain the following if it is supplied by the Licensor | ||
237 | with the Licensed Material: | ||
238 | |||
239 | i. identification of the creator(s) of the Licensed | ||
240 | Material and any others designated to receive | ||
241 | attribution, in any reasonable manner requested by | ||
242 | the Licensor (including by pseudonym if | ||
243 | designated); | ||
244 | |||
245 | ii. a copyright notice; | ||
246 | |||
247 | iii. a notice that refers to this Public License; | ||
248 | |||
249 | iv. a notice that refers to the disclaimer of | ||
250 | warranties; | ||
251 | |||
252 | v. a URI or hyperlink to the Licensed Material to the | ||
253 | extent reasonably practicable; | ||
254 | |||
255 | b. indicate if You modified the Licensed Material and | ||
256 | retain an indication of any previous modifications; and | ||
257 | |||
258 | c. indicate the Licensed Material is licensed under this | ||
259 | Public License, and include the text of, or the URI or | ||
260 | hyperlink to, this Public License. | ||
261 | |||
262 | 2. You may satisfy the conditions in Section 3(a)(1) in any | ||
263 | reasonable manner based on the medium, means, and context in | ||
264 | which You Share the Licensed Material. For example, it may be | ||
265 | reasonable to satisfy the conditions by providing a URI or | ||
266 | hyperlink to a resource that includes the required | ||
267 | information. | ||
268 | |||
269 | 3. If requested by the Licensor, You must remove any of the | ||
270 | information required by Section 3(a)(1)(A) to the extent | ||
271 | reasonably practicable. | ||
272 | |||
273 | b. ShareAlike. | ||
274 | |||
275 | In addition to the conditions in Section 3(a), if You Share | ||
276 | Adapted Material You produce, the following conditions also apply. | ||
277 | |||
278 | 1. The Adapter's License You apply must be a Creative Commons | ||
279 | license with the same License Elements, this version or | ||
280 | later, or a BY-SA Compatible License. | ||
281 | |||
282 | 2. You must include the text of, or the URI or hyperlink to, the | ||
283 | Adapter's License You apply. You may satisfy this condition | ||
284 | in any reasonable manner based on the medium, means, and | ||
285 | context in which You Share Adapted Material. | ||
286 | |||
287 | 3. You may not offer or impose any additional or different terms | ||
288 | or conditions on, or apply any Effective Technological | ||
289 | Measures to, Adapted Material that restrict exercise of the | ||
290 | rights granted under the Adapter's License You apply. | ||
291 | |||
292 | |||
293 | Section 4 -- Sui Generis Database Rights. | ||
294 | |||
295 | Where the Licensed Rights include Sui Generis Database Rights that | ||
296 | apply to Your use of the Licensed Material: | ||
297 | |||
298 | a. for the avoidance of doubt, Section 2(a)(1) grants You the right | ||
299 | to extract, reuse, reproduce, and Share all or a substantial | ||
300 | portion of the contents of the database; | ||
301 | |||
302 | b. if You include all or a substantial portion of the database | ||
303 | contents in a database in which You have Sui Generis Database | ||
304 | Rights, then the database in which You have Sui Generis Database | ||
305 | Rights (but not its individual contents) is Adapted Material, | ||
306 | |||
307 | including for purposes of Section 3(b); and | ||
308 | c. You must comply with the conditions in Section 3(a) if You Share | ||
309 | all or a substantial portion of the contents of the database. | ||
310 | |||
311 | For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 4 supplements and does not | ||
312 | replace Your obligations under this Public License where the Licensed | ||
313 | Rights include other Copyright and Similar Rights. | ||
314 | |||
315 | |||
316 | Section 5 -- Disclaimer of Warranties and Limitation of Liability. | ||
317 | |||
318 | a. UNLESS OTHERWISE SEPARATELY UNDERTAKEN BY THE LICENSOR, TO THE | ||
319 | EXTENT POSSIBLE, THE LICENSOR OFFERS THE LICENSED MATERIAL AS-IS | ||
320 | AND AS-AVAILABLE, AND MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF | ||
321 | ANY KIND CONCERNING THE LICENSED MATERIAL, WHETHER EXPRESS, | ||
322 | IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHER. THIS INCLUDES, WITHOUT LIMITATION, | ||
323 | WARRANTIES OF TITLE, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR | ||
324 | PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ABSENCE OF LATENT OR OTHER DEFECTS, | ||
325 | ACCURACY, OR THE PRESENCE OR ABSENCE OF ERRORS, WHETHER OR NOT | ||
326 | KNOWN OR DISCOVERABLE. WHERE DISCLAIMERS OF WARRANTIES ARE NOT | ||
327 | ALLOWED IN FULL OR IN PART, THIS DISCLAIMER MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. | ||
328 | |||
329 | b. TO THE EXTENT POSSIBLE, IN NO EVENT WILL THE LICENSOR BE LIABLE | ||
330 | TO YOU ON ANY LEGAL THEORY (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, | ||
331 | NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHERWISE FOR ANY DIRECT, SPECIAL, INDIRECT, | ||
332 | INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, OR OTHER LOSSES, | ||
333 | COSTS, EXPENSES, OR DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THIS PUBLIC LICENSE OR | ||
334 | USE OF THE LICENSED MATERIAL, EVEN IF THE LICENSOR HAS BEEN | ||
335 | ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LOSSES, COSTS, EXPENSES, OR | ||
336 | DAMAGES. WHERE A LIMITATION OF LIABILITY IS NOT ALLOWED IN FULL OR | ||
337 | IN PART, THIS LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. | ||
338 | |||
339 | c. The disclaimer of warranties and limitation of liability provided | ||
340 | above shall be interpreted in a manner that, to the extent | ||
341 | possible, most closely approximates an absolute disclaimer and | ||
342 | waiver of all liability. | ||
343 | |||
344 | |||
345 | Section 6 -- Term and Termination. | ||
346 | |||
347 | a. This Public License applies for the term of the Copyright and | ||
348 | Similar Rights licensed here. However, if You fail to comply with | ||
349 | this Public License, then Your rights under this Public License | ||
350 | terminate automatically. | ||
351 | |||
352 | b. Where Your right to use the Licensed Material has terminated under | ||
353 | Section 6(a), it reinstates: | ||
354 | |||
355 | 1. automatically as of the date the violation is cured, provided | ||
356 | it is cured within 30 days of Your discovery of the | ||
357 | violation; or | ||
358 | |||
359 | 2. upon express reinstatement by the Licensor. | ||
360 | |||
361 | For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 6(b) does not affect any | ||
362 | right the Licensor may have to seek remedies for Your violations | ||
363 | of this Public License. | ||
364 | |||
365 | c. For the avoidance of doubt, the Licensor may also offer the | ||
366 | Licensed Material under separate terms or conditions or stop | ||
367 | distributing the Licensed Material at any time; however, doing so | ||
368 | will not terminate this Public License. | ||
369 | |||
370 | d. Sections 1, 5, 6, 7, and 8 survive termination of this Public | ||
371 | License. | ||
372 | |||
373 | |||
374 | Section 7 -- Other Terms and Conditions. | ||
375 | |||
376 | a. The Licensor shall not be bound by any additional or different | ||
377 | terms or conditions communicated by You unless expressly agreed. | ||
378 | |||
379 | b. Any arrangements, understandings, or agreements regarding the | ||
380 | Licensed Material not stated herein are separate from and | ||
381 | independent of the terms and conditions of this Public License. | ||
382 | |||
383 | |||
384 | Section 8 -- Interpretation. | ||
385 | |||
386 | a. For the avoidance of doubt, this Public License does not, and | ||
387 | shall not be interpreted to, reduce, limit, restrict, or impose | ||
388 | conditions on any use of the Licensed Material that could lawfully | ||
389 | be made without permission under this Public License. | ||
390 | |||
391 | b. To the extent possible, if any provision of this Public License is | ||
392 | deemed unenforceable, it shall be automatically reformed to the | ||
393 | minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable. If the provision | ||
394 | cannot be reformed, it shall be severed from this Public License | ||
395 | without affecting the enforceability of the remaining terms and | ||
396 | conditions. | ||
397 | |||
398 | c. No term or condition of this Public License will be waived and no | ||
399 | failure to comply consented to unless expressly agreed to by the | ||
400 | Licensor. | ||
401 | |||
402 | d. Nothing in this Public License constitutes or may be interpreted | ||
403 | as a limitation upon, or waiver of, any privileges and immunities | ||
404 | that apply to the Licensor or You, including from the legal | ||
405 | processes of any jurisdiction or authority. | ||
