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:
|
|
|
|
i. the right to reproduce, adapt, distribute, perform, display, communicate,
|
|
and translate a Work;
|
|
|
|
ii. moral rights retained by the original author(s) and/or performer(s);
|
|
|
|
iii. publicity and privacy rights pertaining to a person's image or likeness
|
|
depicted in a Work;
|
|
|
|
iv. rights protecting against unfair competition in regards to a Work,
|
|
subject to the limitations in paragraph 4(a), below;
|
|
|
|
v. rights protecting the extraction, dissemination, use and reuse of data in
|
|
a Work;
|
|
|
|
vi. 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
|
|
|
|
vii. 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.
|
|
|
|
a. No trademark or patent rights held by Affirmer are waived, abandoned,
|
|
surrendered, licensed or otherwise affected by this document.
|
|
|
|
b. 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.
|
|
|
|
c. 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.
|
|
|
|
d. 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.
