---|
14 | THE WORK (AS DEFINED BELOW) IS PROVIDED UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS CREATIVE |
---|
15 | COMMONS PUBLIC LICENSE ("CCPL" OR "LICENSE"). THE WORK IS PROTECTED BY |
---|
16 | COPYRIGHT AND/OR OTHER APPLICABLE LAW. ANY USE OF THE WORK OTHER THAN AS |
---|
17 | AUTHORIZED UNDER THIS LICENSE OR COPYRIGHT LAW IS PROHIBITED. |
---|
18 | |
---|
19 | BY EXERCISING ANY RIGHTS TO THE WORK PROVIDED HERE, YOU ACCEPT AND AGREE |
---|
20 | TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS OF THIS LICENSE. TO THE EXTENT THIS LICENSE MAY |
---|
21 | BE CONSIDERED TO BE A CONTRACT, THE LICENSOR GRANTS YOU THE RIGHTS |
---|
22 | CONTAINED HERE IN CONSIDERATION OF YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF SUCH TERMS AND |
---|
23 | CONDITIONS. |
---|
24 | |
---|
25 | 1. Definitions |
---|
26 | |
---|
27 | a. "Adaptation" means a work based upon the Work, or upon the Work and |
---|
28 | other pre-existing works, such as a translation, adaptation, |
---|
29 | derivative work, arrangement of music or other alterations of a |
---|
30 | literary or artistic work, or phonogram or performance and includes |
---|
31 | cinematographic adaptations or any other form in which the Work may be |
---|
32 | recast, transformed, or adapted including in any form recognizably |
---|
33 | derived from the original, except that a work that constitutes a |
---|
34 | Collection will not be considered an Adaptation for the purpose of |
---|
35 | this License. For the avoidance of doubt, where the Work is a musical |
---|
36 | work, performance or phonogram, the synchronization of the Work in |
---|
37 | timed-relation with a moving image ("synching") will be considered an |
---|
38 | Adaptation for the purpose of this License. |
---|
39 | b. "Collection" means a collection of literary or artistic works, such as |
---|
40 | encyclopedias and anthologies, or performances, phonograms or |
---|
41 | broadcasts, or other works or subject matter other than works listed |
---|
42 | in Section 1(f) below, which, by reason of the selection and |
---|
43 | arrangement of their contents, constitute intellectual creations, in |
---|
44 | which the Work is included in its entirety in unmodified form along |
---|
45 | with one or more other contributions, each constituting separate and |
---|
46 | independent works in themselves, which together are assembled into a |
---|
47 | collective whole. A work that constitutes a Collection will not be |
---|
48 | considered an Adaptation (as defined above) for the purposes of this |
---|
49 | License. |
---|
50 | c. "Distribute" means to make available to the public the original and |
---|
51 | copies of the Work or Adaptation, as appropriate, through sale or |
---|
52 | other transfer of ownership. |

57 | or if no individual or entity can be identified, the publisher; and in |
---|
58 | addition (i) in the case of a performance the actors, singers, |
---|
59 | musicians, dancers, and other persons who act, sing, deliver, declaim, |

---|
66 | of this License including without limitation any production in the |
---|
67 | literary, scientific and artistic domain, whatever may be the mode or |
---|
68 | form of its expression including digital form, such as a book, |
---|
69 | pamphlet and other writing; a lecture, address, sermon or other work |
---|
70 | of the same nature; a dramatic or dramatico-musical work; a |
---|
71 | choreographic work or entertainment in dumb show; a musical |
---|
72 | composition with or without words; a cinematographic work to which are |
---|
73 | assimilated works expressed by a process analogous to cinematography; |
---|
74 | a work of drawing, painting, architecture, sculpture, engraving or |

---|
80 | extent it is protected as a copyrightable work; or a work performed by |
---|
81 | a variety or circus performer to the extent it is not otherwise |
---|
82 | considered a literary or artistic work. |
---|
83 | g. "You" means an individual or entity exercising rights under this |
---|
84 | License who has not previously violated the terms of this License with |
---|
85 | respect to the Work, or who has received express permission from the |
---|
86 | Licensor to exercise rights under this License despite a previous |
---|
87 | violation. |
---|
88 | h. "Publicly Perform" means to perform public recitations of the Work and |
---|
89 | to communicate to the public those public recitations, by any means or |
---|
90 | process, including by wire or wireless means or public digital |

---|
92 | members of the public may access these Works from a place and at a |
---|
93 | place individually chosen by them; to perform the Work to the public |
---|
94 | by any means or process and the communication to the public of the |
---|
95 | performances of the Work, including by public digital performance; to |
---|
96 | broadcast and rebroadcast the Work by any means including signs, |
---|
97 | sounds or images. |
---|
98 | i. "Reproduce" means to make copies of the Work by any means including |
---|
99 | without limitation by sound or visual recordings and the right of |
---|
100 | fixation and reproducing fixations of the Work, including storage of a |
---|
101 | protected performance or phonogram in digital form or other electronic |
---|
102 | medium. |
---|
103 | |
---|
104 | 2. Fair Dealing Rights. Nothing in this License is intended to reduce, |
---|
105 | limit, or restrict any uses free from copyright or rights arising from |
---|
106 | limitations or exceptions that are provided for in connection with the |
---|
107 | copyright protection under copyright law or other applicable laws. |
---|
108 | |
---|
109 | 3. License Grant. Subject to the terms and conditions of this License, |
---|
110 | Licensor hereby grants You a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive, |
---|
111 | perpetual (for the duration of the applicable copyright) license to |
---|
112 | exercise the rights in the Work as stated below: |
---|
113 | |
---|
114 | a. to Reproduce the Work, to incorporate the Work into one or more |
---|
115 | Collections, and to Reproduce the Work as incorporated in the |
---|
116 | Collections; |
---|
117 | b. to create and Reproduce Adaptations provided that any such Adaptation, |
---|
118 | including any translation in any medium, takes reasonable steps to |
---|
119 | clearly label, demarcate or otherwise identify that changes were made |
---|
120 | to the original Work. For example, a translation could be marked "The |
---|
121 | original work was translated from English to Spanish," or a |
---|
122 | modification could indicate "The original work has been modified."; |
---|
123 | c. to Distribute and Publicly Perform the Work including as incorporated |
---|
124 | in Collections; and, |
---|
125 | d. to Distribute and Publicly Perform Adaptations. |
---|
126 | e. For the avoidance of doubt: |
---|
127 | |
---|
128 | i. Non-waivable Compulsory License Schemes. In those jurisdictions in |
---|
129 | which the right to collect royalties through any statutory or |
---|
130 | compulsory licensing scheme cannot be waived, the Licensor |
---|
131 | reserves the exclusive right to collect such royalties for any |
---|
132 | exercise by You of the rights granted under this License; |
---|
133 | ii. Waivable Compulsory License Schemes. In those jurisdictions in |
---|
134 | which the right to collect royalties through any statutory or |
---|
135 | compulsory licensing scheme can be waived, the Licensor waives the |
---|
136 | exclusive right to collect such royalties for any exercise by You |
---|
137 | of the rights granted under this License; and, |
---|
138 | iii. Voluntary License Schemes. The Licensor waives the right to |
---|
139 | collect royalties, whether individually or, in the event that the |
---|
140 | Licensor is a member of a collecting society that administers |
---|
141 | voluntary licensing schemes, via that society, from any exercise |
---|
142 | by You of the rights granted under this License. |
---|
143 | |
---|
144 | The above rights may be exercised in all media and formats whether now |
---|
145 | known or hereafter devised. The above rights include the right to make |
---|
146 | such modifications as are technically necessary to exercise the rights in |
---|
147 | other media and formats. Subject to Section 8(f), all rights not expressly |
---|
148 | granted by Licensor are hereby reserved. |
---|
149 | |
---|
150 | 4. Restrictions. The license granted in Section 3 above is expressly made |
---|
151 | subject to and limited by the following restrictions: |
---|
152 | |
---|
153 | a. You may Distribute or Publicly Perform the Work only under the terms |
---|
154 | of this License. You must include a copy of, or the Uniform Resource |
---|
155 | Identifier (URI) for, this License with every copy of the Work You |
---|
156 | Distribute or Publicly Perform. You may not offer or impose any terms |
---|
157 | on the Work that restrict the terms of this License or the ability of |
---|
158 | the recipient of the Work to exercise the rights granted to that |
---|
159 | recipient under the terms of the License. You may not sublicense the |
---|
160 | Work. You must keep intact all notices that refer to this License and |
---|
161 | to the disclaimer of warranties with every copy of the Work You |
---|
162 | Distribute or Publicly Perform. When You Distribute or Publicly |
---|
163 | Perform the Work, You may not impose any effective technological |
---|
164 | measures on the Work that restrict the ability of a recipient of the |
---|
165 | Work from You to exercise the rights granted to that recipient under |
---|
166 | the terms of the License. This Section 4(a) applies to the Work as |
---|
167 | incorporated in a Collection, but this does not require the Collection |
---|
168 | apart from the Work itself to be made subject to the terms of this |
---|
169 | License. If You create a Collection, upon notice from any Licensor You |
---|
170 | must, to the extent practicable, remove from the Collection any credit |
---|
171 | as required by Section 4(b), as requested. If You create an |
---|
172 | Adaptation, upon notice from any Licensor You must, to the extent |
---|
173 | practicable, remove from the Adaptation any credit as required by |
---|
174 | Section 4(b), as requested. |
---|
175 | b. If You Distribute, or Publicly Perform the Work or any Adaptations or |
---|
176 | Collections, You must, unless a request has been made pursuant to |
---|
177 | Section 4(a), keep intact all copyright notices for the Work and |
---|
178 | provide, reasonable to the medium or means You are utilizing: (i) the |
---|
179 | name of the Original Author (or pseudonym, if applicable) if supplied, |
---|
180 | and/or if the Original Author and/or Licensor designate another party |
---|
181 | or parties (e.g., a sponsor institute, publishing entity, journal) for |
---|
182 | attribution ("Attribution Parties") in Licensor's copyright notice, |
---|
183 | terms of service or by other reasonable means, the name of such party |
---|
184 | or parties; (ii) the title of the Work if supplied; (iii) to the |
---|
185 | extent reasonably practicable, the URI, if any, that Licensor |
---|
186 | specifies to be associated with the Work, unless such URI does not |
---|
187 | refer to the copyright notice or licensing information for the Work; |
---|
188 | and (iv) , consistent with Section 3(b), in the case of an Adaptation, |
---|
189 | a credit identifying the use of the Work in the Adaptation (e.g., |
---|
190 | "French translation of the Work by Original Author," or "Screenplay |
---|
191 | based on original Work by Original Author"). The credit required by |
---|
192 | this Section 4 (b) may be implemented in any reasonable manner; |
---|
193 | provided, however, that in the case of a Adaptation or Collection, at |
---|
194 | a minimum such credit will appear, if a credit for all contributing |
---|
195 | authors of the Adaptation or Collection appears, then as part of these |
---|
196 | credits and in a manner at least as prominent as the credits for the |
---|
197 | other contributing authors. For the avoidance of doubt, You may only |
---|
198 | use the credit required by this Section for the purpose of attribution |
---|
199 | in the manner set out above and, by exercising Your rights under this |
---|
200 | License, You may not implicitly or explicitly assert or imply any |
---|
201 | connection with, sponsorship or endorsement by the Original Author, |
---|
202 | Licensor and/or Attribution Parties, as appropriate, of You or Your |
---|
203 | use of the Work, without the separate, express prior written |
---|
204 | permission of the Original Author, Licensor and/or Attribution |
---|
205 | Parties. |
---|
206 | c. Except as otherwise agreed in writing by the Licensor or as may be |
---|
207 | otherwise permitted by applicable law, if You Reproduce, Distribute or |
---|
208 | Publicly Perform the Work either by itself or as part of any |
---|
209 | Adaptations or Collections, You must not distort, mutilate, modify or |
---|
210 | take other derogatory action in relation to the Work which would be |
---|
211 | prejudicial to the Original Author's honor or reputation. Licensor |
---|
212 | agrees that in those jurisdictions (e.g. Japan), in which any exercise |
---|
213 | of the right granted in Section 3(b) of this License (the right to |
---|
214 | make Adaptations) would be deemed to be a distortion, mutilation, |
---|
215 | modification or other derogatory action prejudicial to the Original |
---|
216 | Author's honor and reputation, the Licensor will waive or not assert, |
---|
217 | as appropriate, this Section, to the fullest extent permitted by the |
---|
218 | applicable national law, to enable You to reasonably exercise Your |
---|
219 | right under Section 3(b) of this License (right to make Adaptations) |
---|
220 | but not otherwise. |
---|
221 | |
---|
222 | 5. Representations, Warranties and Disclaimer |
---|
223 | |
---|
224 | UNLESS OTHERWISE MUTUALLY AGREED TO BY THE PARTIES IN WRITING, LICENSOR |
---|
225 | OFFERS THE WORK AS-IS AND MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY |
---|
226 | KIND CONCERNING THE WORK, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, |
---|
227 | INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTIES OF TITLE, MERCHANTIBILITY, |
---|
228 | FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NONINFRINGEMENT, OR THE ABSENCE OF |
---|
229 | LATENT OR OTHER DEFECTS, ACCURACY, OR THE PRESENCE OF ABSENCE OF ERRORS, |
---|
230 | WHETHER OR NOT DISCOVERABLE. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION |
---|
231 | OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO SUCH EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. |
---|
232 | |
---|
233 | 6. Limitation on Liability. EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE |
---|
234 | LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL LICENSOR BE LIABLE TO YOU ON ANY LEGAL THEORY FOR |
---|
235 | ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES |
---|
236 | ARISING OUT OF THIS LICENSE OR THE USE OF THE WORK, EVEN IF LICENSOR HAS |
---|
237 | BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. |
---|
238 | |
---|
239 | 7. Termination |
---|
240 | |
---|
241 | a. This License and the rights granted hereunder will terminate |
---|
242 | automatically upon any breach by You of the terms of this License. |
---|
243 | Individuals or entities who have received Adaptations or Collections |
---|
244 | from You under this License, however, will not have their licenses |
---|
245 | terminated provided such individuals or entities remain in full |
---|
246 | compliance with those licenses. Sections 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, and 8 will |
---|
247 | survive any termination of this License. |
---|
248 | b. Subject to the above terms and conditions, the license granted here is |
---|
249 | perpetual (for the duration of the applicable copyright in the Work). |
---|
250 | Notwithstanding the above, Licensor reserves the right to release the |
---|
251 | Work under different license terms or to stop distributing the Work at |
---|
252 | any time; provided, however that any such election will not serve to |
---|
253 | withdraw this License (or any other license that has been, or is |
---|
254 | required to be, granted under the terms of this License), and this |
---|
255 | License will continue in full force and effect unless terminated as |
---|
256 | stated above. |
---|
257 | |
---|
258 | 8. Miscellaneous |
---|
259 | |
---|
260 | a. Each time You Distribute or Publicly Perform the Work or a Collection, |
---|
261 | the Licensor offers to the recipient a license to the Work on the same |
---|
262 | terms and conditions as the license granted to You under this License. |
---|
263 | b. Each time You Distribute or Publicly Perform an Adaptation, Licensor |
---|
264 | offers to the recipient a license to the original Work on the same |
---|
265 | terms and conditions as the license granted to You under this License. |
---|
266 | c. If any provision of this License is invalid or unenforceable under |
---|
267 | applicable law, it shall not affect the validity or enforceability of |
---|
268 | the remainder of the terms of this License, and without further action |
---|
269 | by the parties to this agreement, such provision shall be reformed to |
---|
270 | the minimum extent necessary to make such provision valid and |
---|
271 | enforceable. |
---|
272 | d. No term or provision of this License shall be deemed waived and no |
---|
273 | breach consented to unless such waiver or consent shall be in writing |
---|
274 | and signed by the party to be charged with such waiver or consent. |
---|
275 | e. This License constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with |
---|
276 | respect to the Work licensed here. There are no understandings, |
---|
277 | agreements or representations with respect to the Work not specified |
---|
278 | here. Licensor shall not be bound by any additional provisions that |
---|
279 | may appear in any communication from You. This License may not be |
---|
280 | modified without the mutual written agreement of the Licensor and You. |
---|
281 | f. The rights granted under, and the subject matter referenced, in this |
---|
282 | License were drafted utilizing the terminology of the Berne Convention |
---|
283 | for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works (as amended on |
---|
284 | September 28, 1979), the Rome Convention of 1961, the WIPO Copyright |
---|
285 | Treaty of 1996, the WIPO Performances and Phonograms Treaty of 1996 |
---|
286 | and the Universal Copyright Convention (as revised on July 24, 1971). |
---|
287 | These rights and subject matter take effect in the relevant |
---|
288 | jurisdiction in which the License terms are sought to be enforced |
---|
289 | according to the corresponding provisions of the implementation of |
---|
290 | those treaty provisions in the applicable national law. If the |
---|
291 | standard suite of rights granted under applicable copyright law |
---|
292 | includes additional rights not granted under this License, such |
---|
293 | additional rights are deemed to be included in the License; this |
---|
294 | License is not intended to restrict the license of any rights under |
---|
295 | applicable law. |
