CC0 1.0 Universal | |||
|
|||
Statement of Purpose | |||
|
|||
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: | |||
|
|||
i. the right to reproduce, adapt, distribute, perform, display, communicate, | |||
and translate a Work; | |||
|
|||
ii. moral rights retained by the original author(s) and/or performer(s); | |||
|
|||
iii. publicity and privacy rights pertaining to a person's image or likeness | |||
depicted in a Work; | |||
|
|||
iv. rights protecting against unfair competition in regards to a Work, | |||
subject to the limitations in paragraph 4(a), below; | |||
|
|||
v. rights protecting the extraction, dissemination, use and reuse of data in | |||
a Work; | |||
|
|||
vi. 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 | |||
|
|||
vii. 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. | |||
|
|||
a. No trademark or patent rights held by Affirmer are waived, abandoned, | |||
surrendered, licensed or otherwise affected by this document. | |||
|
|||
b. 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. | |||
|
|||
c. 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. | |||
|
|||
d. 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. | |||
