To the extent this Public License may be interpreted as a +contract, You are granted the Licensed Rights in consideration of Your +acceptance of these terms and conditions, and the Licensor grants You +such rights in consideration of benefits the Licensor receives from +making the Licensed Material available under these terms and conditions. + +Section 1 - Definitions. + + a. "Adapted Material" means material subject to Copyright and Similar + Rights that is derived from or based upon the Licensed Material and + in which the Licensed Material is translated, altered, arranged, + transformed, or otherwise modified in a manner requiring permission + under the Copyright and Similar Rights held by the Licensor. For + purposes of this Public License, where the Licensed Material is a + musical work, performance, or sound recording, Adapted Material is + always produced where the Licensed Material is synched in timed + relation with a moving image. + b. "Adapter's License" means the license You apply to Your Copyright + and Similar Rights in Your contributions to Adapted Material in + accordance with the terms and conditions of this Public License. + c. "BY-SA Compatible License" means a license listed at + <http://creativecommons.org/compatiblelicenses>, approved by + Creative Commons as essentially the equivalent of this Public + License. + d. "Copyright and Similar Rights" means copyright and/or similar rights + closely related to copyright including, without limitation, + performance, broadcast, sound recording, and Sui Generis Database + Rights, without regard to how the rights are labeled or categorized. + For purposes of this Public License, the rights specified in Section + 2(b)(1)-(2) are not Copyright and Similar Rights. + e. "Effective Technological Measures" means those measures that, in the + absence of proper authority, may not be circumvented under laws + fulfilling obligations under Article 11 of the WIPO Copyright Treaty + adopted on December 20, 1996, and/or similar international + agreements. + f. "Exceptions and Limitations" means fair use, fair dealing, and/or + any other exception or limitation to Copyright and Similar Rights + that applies to Your use of the Licensed Material. + g. "License Elements" means the license attributes listed in the name + of a Creative Commons Public License. The License Elements of this + Public License are Attribution and ShareAlike. + h. "Licensed Material" means the artistic or literary work, database, + or other material to which the Licensor applied this Public License. + i. "Licensed Rights" means the rights granted to You subject to the + terms and conditions of this Public License, which are limited to + all Copyright and Similar Rights that apply to Your use of the + Licensed Material and that the Licensor has authority to license. + j. "Licensor" means the individual(s) or entity(ies) granting rights + under this Public License. + k. "Share" means to provide material to the public by any means or + process that requires permission under the Licensed Rights, such as + reproduction, public display, public performance, distribution, + dissemination, communication, or importation, and to make material + available to the public including in ways that members of the public + may access the material from a place and at a time individually + chosen by them. + l. "Sui Generis Database Rights" means rights other than copyright + resulting from Directive 96/9/EC of the European Parliament and of + the Council of 11 March 1996 on the legal protection of databases, + as amended and/or succeeded, as well as other essentially equivalent + rights anywhere in the world. + m. "You" means the individual or entity exercising the Licensed Rights + under this Public License. "Your" has a corresponding meaning. + +Section 2 - Scope. + + a. License grant. + + 1. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Public License, the + Licensor hereby grants You a worldwide, royalty-free, + non-sublicensable, non-exclusive, irrevocable license to + exercise the Licensed Rights in the Licensed Material to: + + A. reproduce and Share the Licensed Material, in whole or in + part; and + B. produce, reproduce, and Share Adapted Material. + + 2. Exceptions and Limitations. For the avoidance of doubt, where + Exceptions and Limitations apply to Your use, this Public + License does not apply, and You do not need to comply with its + terms and conditions. + 3. Term. The term of this Public License is specified in Section + 6(a). + 4. Media and formats; technical modifications allowed. The Licensor + authorizes You to exercise the Licensed Rights in all media and + formats whether now known or hereafter created, and to make + technical modifications necessary to do so. The Licensor waives + and/or agrees not to assert any right or authority to forbid You + from making technical modifications necessary to exercise the + Licensed Rights, including technical modifications necessary to + circumvent Effective Technological Measures. For purposes of + this Public License, simply making modifications authorized by + this Section 2(a)(4) never produces Adapted Material. + 5. Downstream recipients. + + A. Offer from the Licensor - Licensed Material. Every recipient + of the Licensed Material automatically receives an offer + from the Licensor to exercise the Licensed Rights under the + terms and conditions of this Public License. + B. Additional offer from the Licensor - Adapted Material. Every + recipient of Adapted Material from You automatically + receives an offer from the Licensor to exercise the Licensed + Rights in the Adapted Material under the conditions of the + Adapter's License You apply. + C. No downstream restrictions. You may not offer or impose any + additional or different terms or conditions on, or apply any + Effective Technological Measures to, the Licensed Material + if doing so restricts exercise of the Licensed Rights by any + recipient of the Licensed Material. + + 6. No endorsement. Nothing in this Public License constitutes or + may be construed as permission to assert or imply that You are, + or that Your use of the Licensed Material is, connected with, or + sponsored, endorsed, or granted official status by, the Licensor + or others designated to receive attribution as provided in + Section 3(a)(1)(A)(i). + + b. Other rights. + + 1. Moral rights, such as the right of integrity, are not licensed + under this Public License, nor are publicity, privacy, and/or + other similar personality rights; however, to the extent + possible, the Licensor waives and/or agrees not to assert any + such rights held by the Licensor to the limited extent necessary + to allow You to exercise the Licensed Rights, but not otherwise. + 2. Patent and trademark rights are not licensed under this Public + License. + 3. To the extent possible, the Licensor waives any right to collect + royalties from You for the exercise of the Licensed Rights, + whether directly or through a collecting society under any + voluntary or waivable statutory or compulsory licensing scheme. + In all other cases the Licensor expressly reserves any right to + collect such royalties. + +Section 3 - License Conditions. + +Your exercise of the Licensed Rights is expressly made subject to the +following conditions. + + a. Attribution. + + 1. If You Share the Licensed Material (including in modified form), + You must: + + A. retain the following if it is supplied by the Licensor with + the Licensed Material: + + i. identification of the creator(s) of the Licensed + Material and any others designated to receive + attribution, in any reasonable manner requested by the + Licensor (including by pseudonym if designated); + ii. a copyright notice; + iii. a notice that refers to this Public License; + iv. a notice that refers to the disclaimer of warranties; + v. a URI or hyperlink to the Licensed Material to the + extent reasonably practicable; + + B. indicate if You modified the Licensed Material and retain an + indication of any previous modifications; and + C. indicate the Licensed Material is licensed under this Public + License, and include the text of, or the URI or hyperlink + to, this Public License. + + 2. You may satisfy the conditions in Section 3(a)(1) in any + reasonable manner based on the medium, means, and context in + which You Share the Licensed Material. For example, it may be + reasonable to satisfy the conditions by providing a URI or + hyperlink to a resource that includes the required information. + 3. If requested by the Licensor, You must remove any of the + information required by Section 3(a)(1)(A) to the extent + reasonably practicable. + + b. ShareAlike. + + In addition to the conditions in Section 3(a), if You Share Adapted + Material You produce, the following conditions also apply. + + 1. The Adapter's License You apply must be a Creative Commons + license with the same License Elements, this version or later, + or a BY-SA Compatible License. + 2. You must include the text of, or the URI or hyperlink to, the + Adapter's License You apply. You may satisfy this condition in + any reasonable manner based on the medium, means, and context in + which You Share Adapted Material. + 3. You may not offer or impose any additional or different terms or + conditions on, or apply any Effective Technological Measures to, + Adapted Material that restrict exercise of the rights granted + under the Adapter's License You apply. + +Section 4 - Sui Generis Database Rights. + +Where the Licensed Rights include Sui Generis Database Rights that apply +to Your use of the Licensed Material: + + a. for the avoidance of doubt, Section 2(a)(1) grants You the right to + extract, reuse, reproduce, and Share all or a substantial portion of + the contents of the database; + b. if You include all or a substantial portion of the database contents + in a database in which You have Sui Generis Database Rights, then + the database in which You have Sui Generis Database Rights (but not + its individual contents) is Adapted Material, including for purposes + of Section 3(b); and + c. You must comply with the conditions in Section 3(a) if You Share all + or a substantial portion of the contents of the database. + +For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 4 supplements and does not +replace Your obligations under this Public License where the Licensed +Rights include other Copyright and Similar Rights. + +Section 5 - Disclaimer of Warranties and Limitation of Liability. + + a. Unless otherwise separately undertaken by the Licensor, to the + extent possible, the Licensor offers the Licensed Material as-is and + as-available, and makes no representations or warranties of any kind + concerning the Licensed Material, whether express, implied, + statutory, or other. This includes, without limitation, warranties + of title, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, + non-infringement, absence of latent or other defects, accuracy, or + the presence or absence of errors, whether or not known or + discoverable. Where disclaimers of warranties are not allowed in + full or in part, this disclaimer may not apply to You. + b. To the extent possible, in no event will the Licensor be liable to + You on any legal theory (including, without limitation, negligence) + or otherwise for any direct, special, indirect, incidental, + consequential, punitive, exemplary, or other losses, costs, + expenses, or damages arising out of this Public License or use of + the Licensed Material, even if the Licensor has been advised of the + possibility of such losses, costs, expenses, or damages. Where a + limitation of liability is not allowed in full or in part, this + limitation may not apply to You. + c. The disclaimer of warranties and limitation of liability provided + above shall be interpreted in a manner that, to the extent possible, + most closely approximates an absolute disclaimer and waiver of all + liability. + +Section 6 - Term and Termination. + + a. This Public License applies for the term of the Copyright and + Similar Rights licensed here. However, if You fail to comply with + this Public License, then Your rights under this Public License + terminate automatically. + b. Where Your right to use the Licensed Material has terminated under + Section 6(a), it reinstates: + + 1. automatically as of the date the violation is cured, provided it + is cured within 30 days of Your discovery of the violation; or + 2. upon express reinstatement by the Licensor. + + For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 6(b) does not affect any + right the Licensor may have to seek remedies for Your violations of + this Public License. + c. For the avoidance of doubt, the Licensor may also offer the Licensed + Material under separate terms or conditions or stop distributing the + Licensed Material at any time; however, doing so will not terminate + this Public License. + d. Sections 1, 5, 6, 7, and 8 survive termination of this Public + License. + +Section 7 - Other Terms and Conditions. + + a. The Licensor shall not be bound by any additional or different terms + or conditions communicated by You unless expressly agreed. + b. Any arrangements, understandings, or agreements regarding the + Licensed Material not stated herein are separate from and + independent of the terms and conditions of this Public License. + +Section 8 - Interpretation. + + a. For the avoidance of doubt, this Public License does not, and shall + not be interpreted to, reduce, limit, restrict, or impose conditions + on any use of the Licensed Material that could lawfully be made + without permission under this Public License. + b. To the extent possible, if any provision of this Public License is + deemed unenforceable, it shall be automatically reformed to the + minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable. If the provision + cannot be reformed, it shall be severed from this Public License + without affecting the enforceability of the remaining terms and + conditions. + c. No term or condition of this Public License will be waived and no + failure to comply consented to unless expressly agreed to by the + Licensor. + d. Nothing in this Public License constitutes or may be interpreted as + a limitation upon, or waiver of, any privileges and immunities that + apply to the Licensor or You, including from the legal processes of + any jurisdiction or authority. + + + Creative Commons is not a party to its public licenses. + Notwithstanding, Creative Commons may elect to apply one of its + public licenses to material it publishes and in those instances will + be considered the "Licensor."
