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.
|
||||
|
||||
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.
