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: + + 1. the right to reproduce, adapt, distribute, perform, display, + communicate, and translate a Work; + + 2. moral rights retained by the original author(s) and/or performer(s); + + 3. publicity and privacy rights pertaining to a person's image or likeness + depicted in a Work; + + 4. rights protecting against unfair competition in regards to a Work, + subject to the limitations in paragraph 4(a), below; + + 5. rights protecting the extraction, dissemination, use and reuse of data + in a Work; + + 6. 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 + + 7. 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. + + 1. No trademark or patent rights held by Affirmer are waived, abandoned, + surrendered, licensed or otherwise affected by this document. + + 2. 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. + + 3. 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. + + 4. 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.
