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:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
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.
|
||||||
|

||||||

|
||||||

||||||

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
