Creative Commons Legal Code | ||
|
||
CC0 1.0 Universal | ||
|
||
CREATIVE COMMONS CORPORATION IS NOT A LAW FIRM AND DOES NOT PROVIDE | ||
LEGAL SERVICES. DISTRIBUTION OF THIS DOCUMENT DOES NOT CREATE AN | ||
ATTORNEY-CLIENT RELATIONSHIP. CREATIVE COMMONS PROVIDES THIS | ||
INFORMATION ON AN "AS-IS" BASIS. CREATIVE COMMONS MAKES NO WARRANTIES | ||
REGARDING THE USE OF THIS DOCUMENT OR THE INFORMATION OR WORKS | ||
PROVIDED HEREUNDER, AND DISCLAIMS LIABILITY FOR DAMAGES RESULTING FROM | ||
THE USE OF THIS DOCUMENT OR THE INFORMATION OR WORKS PROVIDED | ||
HEREUNDER. | ||
|
||
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. |
