## Legal Text
|
|
|
|
See https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/legalcode
|
|
|
|
The laws of most jurisdictions throughout the world automatically confer
|
|
exclusive Copyright and Related Rights (defined below) upon the creator
|
|
and subsequent owner(s) (each and all, an "owner") of an original work
|
|
of authorship and/or a database (each, a "Work").
|
|
|
|
Certain owners wish to permanently relinquish those rights to a Work for
|
|
the purpose of contributing to a commons of creative, cultural and
|
|
scientific works ("Commons") that the public can reliably and without
|
|
fear of later claims of infringement build upon, modify, incorporate in
|
|
other works, reuse and redistribute as freely as possible in any form
|
|
whatsoever and for any purposes, including without limitation commercial
|
|
purposes. These owners may contribute to the Commons to promote the
|
|
ideal of a free culture and the further production of creative, cultural
|
|
and scientific works, or to gain reputation or greater distribution for
|
|
their Work in part through the use and efforts of others.
|
|
|
|
For these and/or other purposes and motivations, and without any
|
|
expectation of additional consideration or compensation, the person
|
|
associating CC0 with a Work (the "Affirmer"), to the extent that he or
|
|
she is an owner of Copyright and Related Rights in the Work, voluntarily
|
|
elects to apply CC0 to the Work and publicly distribute the Work under
|
|
its terms, with knowledge of his or her Copyright and Related Rights in
|
|
the Work and the meaning and intended legal effect of CC0 on those
|
|
rights.
|
|
|
|
1. Copyright and Related Rights. A Work made available under CC0 may be
|
|
protected by copyright and related or neighboring rights ("Copyright and
|
|
Related Rights"). Copyright and Related Rights include, but are not
|
|
limited to, the following:
|
|
|
|
- the right to reproduce, adapt, distribute, perform, display,
|
|
communicate, and translate a Work;
|
|
- moral rights retained by the original author(s) and/or performer(s);
|
|
- publicity and privacy rights pertaining to a person's image or
|
|
likeness depicted in a Work;
|
|
- rights protecting against unfair competition in regards to a Work,
|
|
subject to the limitations in paragraph 4(a), below;
|
|
- rights protecting the extraction, dissemination, use and reuse of data
|
|
in a Work;
|
|
- database rights (such as those arising under Directive 96/9/EC of the
|
|
European Parliament and of the Council of 11 March 1996 on the legal
|
|
protection of databases, and under any national implementation thereof,
|
|
including any amended or successor version of such directive); and
|
|
- other similar, equivalent or corresponding rights throughout the world
|
|
based on applicable law or treaty, and any national implementations
|
|
thereof.
|
|
|
|
2. Waiver. To the greatest extent permitted by, but not in contravention
|
|
of, applicable law, Affirmer hereby overtly, fully, permanently,
|
|
irrevocably and unconditionally waives, abandons, and surrenders all of
|
|
Affirmer's Copyright and Related Rights and associated claims and causes
|
|
of action, whether now known or unknown (including existing as well as
|
|
future claims and causes of action), in the Work (i) in all territories
|
|
worldwide, (ii) for the maximum duration provided by applicable law or
|
|
treaty (including future time extensions), (iii) in any current or
|
|
future medium and for any number of copies, and (iv) for any purpose
|
|
whatsoever, including without limitation commercial, advertising or
|
|
promotional purposes (the "Waiver"). Affirmer makes the Waiver for the
|
|
benefit of each member of the public at large and to the detriment of
|
|
Affirmer's heirs and successors, fully intending that such Waiver shall
|
|
not be subject to revocation, rescission, cancellation, termination, or
|
|
any other legal or equitable action to disrupt the quiet enjoyment of
|
|
the Work by the public as contemplated by Affirmer's express Statement
|
|
of Purpose.
|
|
|
|
3. Public License Fallback. Should any part of the Waiver for any reason
|
|
be judged legally invalid or ineffective under applicable law, then the
|
|
Waiver shall be preserved to the maximum extent permitted taking into
|
|
account Affirmer's express Statement of Purpose. In addition, to the
|
|
extent the Waiver is so judged Affirmer hereby grants to each affected
|
|
person a royalty-free, non transferable, non sublicensable, non
|
|
exclusive, irrevocable and unconditional license to exercise Affirmer's
|
|
Copyright and Related Rights in the Work (i) in all territories
|
|
worldwide, (ii) for the maximum duration provided by applicable law or
|
|
treaty (including future time extensions), (iii) in any current or
|
|
future medium and for any number of copies, and (iv) for any purpose
|
|
whatsoever, including without limitation commercial, advertising or
|
|
promotional purposes (the "License"). The License shall be deemed
|
|
effective as of the date CC0 was applied by Affirmer to the Work. Should
|
|
any part of the License for any reason be judged legally invalid or
|
|
ineffective under applicable law, such partial invalidity or
|
|
ineffectiveness shall not invalidate the remainder of the License, and
|
|
in such case Affirmer hereby affirms that he or she will not (i)
|
|
exercise any of his or her remaining Copyright and Related Rights in the
|
|
Work or (ii) assert any associated claims and causes of action with
|
|
respect to the Work, in either case contrary to Affirmer's express
|
|
Statement of Purpose.
|
|
|
|
4. Limitations and Disclaimers.
|
|
|
|
No trademark or patent rights held by Affirmer are waived, abandoned,
|
|
surrendered, licensed or otherwise affected by this document.
|
|
|
|
Affirmer offers the Work as-is and makes no representations or
|
|
warranties of any kind concerning the Work, express, implied, statutory
|
|
or otherwise, including without limitation warranties of title,
|
|
merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non infringement, or
|
|
the absence of latent or other defects, accuracy, or the present or
|
|
absence of errors, whether or not discoverable, all to the greatest
|
|
extent permissible under applicable law.
|
|
|
|
Affirmer disclaims responsibility for clearing rights of other persons
|
|
that may apply to the Work or any use thereof, including without
|
|
limitation any person's Copyright and Related Rights in the Work.
|
|
Further, Affirmer disclaims responsibility for obtaining any necessary
|
|
consents, permissions or other rights required for any use of the Work.
|
|
|
|
Affirmer understands and acknowledges that Creative Commons is not a
|
|
party to this document and has no duty or obligation with respect to
|
|
this CC0 or use of the Work.
