| <p><em>License</em> </p> |
| |
| <p>THE WORK (AS DEFINED BELOW) IS PROVIDED UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS |
| CREATIVE COMMONS PUBLIC LICENSE ("CCPL" OR "LICENSE"). THE WORK IS |
| PROTECTED BY COPYRIGHT AND/OR OTHER APPLICABLE LAW. ANY USE OF THE WORK |
| OTHER THAN AS AUTHORIZED UNDER THIS LICENSE OR COPYRIGHT LAW IS |
| PROHIBITED. </p> |
| |
| <p>BY EXERCISING ANY RIGHTS TO THE WORK PROVIDED HERE, YOU ACCEPT AND |
| AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS OF THIS LICENSE. THE LICENSOR GRANTS YOU |
| THE RIGHTS CONTAINED HERE IN CONSIDERATION OF YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF SUCH |
| TERMS AND CONDITIONS. </p> |
| |
| |
| <p><strong>1. Definitions</strong> </p> |
| |
| <ol type="a"> |
| <li> |
| <strong>"Collective Work"</strong> means a work, such as a periodical |
| issue, anthology or encyclopedia, in which the Work in its entirety in |
| unmodified form, along with a number of other contributions, |
| constituting separate and independent works in themselves, are |
| assembled into a collective whole. A work that constitutes a Collective |
| Work will not be considered a Derivative Work (as defined below) for |
| the purposes of this License. |
| </li> |
| |
| <li> |
| <strong>"Derivative Work"</strong> means a work based upon the Work or |
| upon the Work and other pre-existing works, such as a translation, |
| musical arrangement, dramatization, fictionalization, motion picture |
| version, sound recording, art reproduction, abridgment, condensation, |
| or any other form in which the Work may be recast, transformed, or |
| adapted, except that a work that constitutes a Collective Work will not |
| be considered a Derivative Work for the purpose of this License. For |
| the avoidance of doubt, where the Work is a musical composition or |
| sound recording, the synchronization of the Work in timed-relation with |
| a moving image ("synching") will be considered a Derivative Work for |
| the purpose of this License. |
| </li> |
| |
| <li> |
| <strong>"Licensor"</strong> means the individual or entity that offers the Work under the terms of this License. |
| </li> |
| |
| <li> |
| <strong>"Original Author"</strong> means the individual or entity who created the Work. |
| </li> |
| |
| <li> |
| <strong>"Work"</strong> means the copyrightable work of authorship offered under the terms of this License. |
| </li> |
| |
| <li> |
| <strong>"You"</strong> means an individual or entity exercising rights |
| under this License who has not previously violated the terms of this |
| License with respect to the Work, or who has received express |
| permission from the Licensor to exercise rights under this License |
| despite a previous violation. |
| </li> |
| |
| <li><strong>"License Elements"</strong> means the following high-level |
| license attributes as selected by Licensor and indicated in the title |
| of this License: Attribution, ShareAlike.</li></ol> |
| |
| <p><strong>2. Fair Use Rights.</strong> Nothing in this license is |
| intended to reduce, limit, or restrict any rights arising from fair |
| use, first sale or other limitations on the exclusive rights of the |
| copyright owner under copyright law or other applicable laws. </p> |
| |
| |
| <p><strong>3. License Grant.</strong> Subject to the terms and |
| conditions of this License, Licensor hereby grants You a worldwide, |
| royalty-free, non-exclusive, perpetual (for the duration of the |
| applicable copyright) license to exercise the rights in the Work as |
| stated below: </p> |
| |
| |
| <ol type="a"> |
| <li> |
| to reproduce the Work, to incorporate the Work into one or more |
| Collective Works, and to reproduce the Work as incorporated in the |
| Collective Works; |
| </li> |
| |
| <li> |
| to create and reproduce Derivative Works; |
| </li> |
| |
| <li>to distribute copies or phonorecords of, display publicly, perform |
| publicly, and perform publicly by means of a digital audio transmission |
| the Work including as incorporated in Collective Works; |
| </li> |
| |
| <li>to distribute copies or phonorecords of, display publicly, perform |
| publicly, and perform publicly by means of a digital audio transmission |
| Derivative Works. |
| </li> |
| |
| <li><p>For the avoidance of doubt, where the work is a musical composition:</p> |
| |
| <ol type="i"> |
| <li><strong>Performance Royalties Under Blanket Licenses</strong>. |
| Licensor waives the exclusive right to collect, whether individually or |
| via a performance rights society (e.g. ASCAP, BMI, SESAC), royalties |
| for the public performance or public digital performance (e.g. webcast) |
| of the Work.</li> |
| |
| <li><strong>Mechanical Rights and Statutory Royalties</strong>. |
| Licensor waives the exclusive right to collect, whether individually or |
| via a music rights society or designated agent (e.g. Harry Fox Agency), |
| royalties for any phonorecord You create from the Work ("cover |
| version") and distribute, subject to the compulsory license created by |
| 17 USC Section 115 of the US Copyright Act (or the equivalent in other |
| jurisdictions). |
| </li> |
| </ol> |
| </li> |
| |
| <li><strong>Webcasting Rights and Statutory Royalties</strong>. For the |
| avoidance of doubt, where the Work is a sound recording, Licensor |
| waives the exclusive right to collect, whether individually or via a |
| performance-rights society (e.g. SoundExchange), royalties for the |
| public digital performance (e.g. webcast) of the Work, subject to the |
| compulsory license created by 17 USC Section 114 of the US Copyright |
| Act (or the equivalent in other jurisdictions).</li> |
| </ol> |
| |
| |
| <p>The above rights may be exercised in all media and formats whether |
| now known or hereafter devised. The above rights include the right to |
| make such modifications as are technically necessary to exercise the |
| rights in other media and formats. All rights not expressly granted by |
| Licensor are hereby reserved.</p> |
| |
| <p><strong>4. Restrictions.</strong>The license granted in Section 3 above is expressly made subject to and limited by the following restrictions: </p> |
| |
| |
| <ol type="a"> |
| <li> |
| You may distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, or publicly |
| digitally perform the Work only under the terms of this License, and |
| You must include a copy of, or the Uniform Resource Identifier for, |
| this License with every copy or phonorecord of the Work You distribute, |
| publicly display, publicly perform, or publicly digitally perform. You |
| may not offer or impose any terms on the Work that alter or restrict |
| the terms of this License or the recipients' exercise of the rights |
| granted hereunder. You may not sublicense the Work. You must keep |
| intact all notices that refer to this License and to the disclaimer of |
| warranties. You may not distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, |
| or publicly digitally perform the Work with any technological measures |
| that control access or use of the Work in a manner inconsistent with |
| the terms of this License Agreement. The above applies to the Work as |
| incorporated in a Collective Work, but this does not require the |
| Collective Work apart from the Work itself to be made subject to the |
| terms of this License. If You create a Collective Work, upon notice |
| from any Licensor You must, to the extent practicable, remove from the |
| Collective Work any credit as required by clause 4(c), as requested. If |
| You create a Derivative Work, upon notice from any Licensor You must, |
| to the extent practicable, remove from the Derivative Work any credit |
| as required by clause 4(c), as requested. |
| </li> |
| |
| <li>You may distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, or publicly |
| digitally perform a Derivative Work only under the terms of this |
| License, a later version of this License with the same License Elements |
| as this License, or a Creative Commons iCommons license that contains |
| the same License Elements as this License (e.g. Attribution-ShareAlike |
| 2.5 Japan). You must include a copy of, or the Uniform Resource |
| Identifier for, this License or other license specified in the previous |
| sentence with every copy or phonorecord of each Derivative Work You |
| distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, or publicly digitally |
| perform. You may not offer or impose any terms on the Derivative Works |
| that alter or restrict the terms of this License or the recipients' |
| exercise of the rights granted hereunder, and You must keep intact all |
| notices that refer to this License and to the disclaimer of warranties. |
| You may not distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, or publicly |
| digitally perform the Derivative Work with any technological measures |
| that control access or use of the Work in a manner inconsistent with |
| the terms of this License Agreement. The above applies to the |
| Derivative Work as incorporated in a Collective Work, but this does not |
| require the Collective Work apart from the Derivative Work itself to be |
| made subject to the terms of this License. |
| </li> |
| |
| <li>If you distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, or publicly |
| digitally perform the Work or any Derivative Works or Collective Works, |
| You must keep intact all copyright notices for the Work and provide, |
| reasonable to the medium or means You are utilizing: (i) the name of |
| the Original Author (or pseudonym, if applicable) if supplied, and/or |
| (ii) if the Original Author and/or Licensor designate another party or |
| parties (e.g. a sponsor institute, publishing entity, journal) for |
| attribution in Licensor's copyright notice, terms of service or by |
| other reasonable means, the name of such party or parties; the title of |
| the Work if supplied; to the extent reasonably practicable, the Uniform |
| Resource Identifier, if any, that Licensor specifies to be associated |
| with the Work, unless such URI does not refer to the copyright notice |
| or licensing information for the Work; and in the case of a Derivative |
| Work, a credit identifying the use of the Work in the Derivative Work |
| (e.g., "French translation of the Work by Original Author," or |
| "Screenplay based on original Work by Original Author"). Such credit |
| may be implemented in any reasonable manner; provided, however, that in |
| the case of a Derivative Work or Collective Work, at a minimum such |
| credit will appear where any other comparable authorship credit appears |
| and in a manner at least as prominent as such other comparable |
| authorship credit. |
| </li> |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| </ol> |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| <p><strong>5. Representations, Warranties and Disclaimer</strong></p> |
| |
| <p>UNLESS OTHERWISE AGREED TO BY THE PARTIES IN WRITING, LICENSOR |
| OFFERS THE WORK AS-IS AND MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY |
| KIND CONCERNING THE MATERIALS, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR |
| OTHERWISE, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTIES OF TITLE, |
| MERCHANTIBILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NONINFRINGEMENT, OR |
| THE ABSENCE OF LATENT OR OTHER DEFECTS, ACCURACY, OR THE PRESENCE OF |
| ABSENCE OF ERRORS, WHETHER OR NOT DISCOVERABLE. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO |
| NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO SUCH EXCLUSION MAY |
| NOT APPLY TO YOU.</p> |
| |
| |
| <p><strong>6. Limitation on Liability.</strong> EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT |
| REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL LICENSOR BE LIABLE TO YOU |
| ON ANY LEGAL THEORY FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, |
| PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THIS LICENSE OR THE USE OF |
| THE WORK, EVEN IF LICENSOR HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH |
| DAMAGES. </p> |
| |
| <p><strong>7. Termination</strong> </p> |
| |
| <ol type="a"> |
| |
| <li> |
| This License and the rights granted hereunder will terminate |
| automatically upon any breach by You of the terms of this License. |
| Individuals or entities who have received Derivative Works or |
| Collective Works from You under this License, however, will not have |
| their licenses terminated provided such individuals or entities remain |
| in full compliance with those licenses. Sections 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, and 8 |
| will survive any termination of this License. |
| </li> |
| |
| <li>Subject to the above terms and conditions, the license granted here |
| is perpetual (for the duration of the applicable copyright in the |
| Work). Notwithstanding the above, Licensor reserves the right to |
| release the Work under different license terms or to stop distributing |
| the Work at any time; provided, however that any such election will not |
| serve to withdraw this License (or any other license that has been, or |
| is required to be, granted under the terms of this License), and this |
| License will continue in full force and effect unless terminated as |
| stated above. |
| </li> |
| </ol> |
| |
| <p><strong>8. Miscellaneous</strong> </p> |
| |
| <ol type="a"> |
| |
| <li>Each time You distribute or publicly digitally perform the Work or |
| a Collective Work, the Licensor offers to the recipient a license to |
| the Work on the same terms and conditions as the license granted to You |
| under this License. |
| </li> |
| |
| <li>Each time You distribute or publicly digitally perform a Derivative |
| Work, Licensor offers to the recipient a license to the original Work |
| on the same terms and conditions as the license granted to You under |
| this License. |
| </li> |
| |
| <li>If any provision of this License is invalid or unenforceable under |
| applicable law, it shall not affect the validity or enforceability of |
| the remainder of the terms of this License, and without further action |
| by the parties to this agreement, such provision shall be reformed to |
| the minimum extent necessary to make such provision valid and |
| enforceable. |
| </li> |
| |
| <li>No term or provision of this License shall be deemed waived and no |
| breach consented to unless such waiver or consent shall be in writing |
| and signed by the party to be charged with such waiver or consent. |
| </li> |
| |
| <li>This License constitutes the entire agreement between the parties |
| with respect to the Work licensed here. There are no understandings, |
| agreements or representations with respect to the Work not specified |
| here. Licensor shall not be bound by any additional provisions that may |
| appear in any communication from You. This License may not be modified |
| without the mutual written agreement of the Licensor and You. |
| </li> |
